BMC - tickling your fancy?

Cross post of my biek, in its current guise

custom painted bmc in germany

Seriously contemplating a GF02 at the moment as my new winter warrior. It was really good fun in a test ride (if a bit heavy) Has anyone got one?

GF01

GF02

Alas I don't have £2500 spare! So I was gonna get the bottom of the range aluminium disc version

What are you after? Compliance? High stack? Disc brakes? There are better options .. have you looked at Genesis' 2016 offerings?

Just looking for winter do-it all (commuting (on drops) through to CXing). So big clearances and discs are a must. I'm trying to get it through ride to work so it can't be much more that £1k.

I tried the genesis, and it was really heavy and ponderous. I am gonna try CAADX 105 this week. Any other suggestions?

Anyone know who specialised sells BMC Track bikes in the UK, more specially the TR01 in a small.

Cheers

Evans have an exclusive deal to be sole BMC dealer in the UK as far as I'm aware.

That's annoying, I was hoping somewhere else would sell BMC. Thansk any ways :)

Looks like they only do the TR02 too, the bastards.

I know, I've had too many bad experience with alu, hence the search for a track carbon/crabon

I've had too many bad experience with Canyon.

FTFY.

Bit late but I've had my GF02 disc for a couple of years. I've been really happy with it and found it much livelier than the CdF I looked at.

Clearances are too tight for proper muddy stuff though and it came with a compact instead of the cx group originally stated.

my bmc is for sale.

You have a BMC?

Edit: now sold

anyone tell me the seat clamp size on a 2013 GF02 please? Callipers batteries died and i need to order one. cheers!

Anyone ridden a Timemachine (TMR02) and a Teammachine (SLR02) ? How did they compare ?
Both on my long list for a new bike as a current happy owner of a Streetracer

My long list has more or less shortened now to just the Timemachine or the Teammachine. I'd probably swop out 105 on either bike for Di2 Ultegra on the Timemachine or mechanical Dura-Ace on the Teammachine. Wheels would also be swopped out for 50mm carbon or carbon/alu on the Timemachine, and 35mm alu on the Teammachine.
105 and wheels from the new bike would make there way over to the Streetracer.

I think I'm leaning towards the Timemachine, but slightly concerned that it may be too stiff/harsh. I also note most of the BMC Pro team opt for Teammachines, which has me wondering why

BMC lovers - mine is for sale here

Looks nice. Would buy in a rim brake version, decent geo without looking too "sportive".

I know BMC don't get much love around these parts but if you wanted a racier version of the Roadmachine well here you go!
Also available with rim brakes and with eTap
