Thanks for that, I couldn't find the retail links for some reason

Yeah it doesn't appear a great discount. I think I've seen 2018 bikes of similar spec going for circa £1k brand new

On the other hand, EvansCycles is selling the 2018 version (the cheaper of the two!) for £1.9k: https://www.evanscycles.com/bmc-teammachine-slr02-two-2018-road-bike-EV302694, and personally I can't spot a massive upgrade? Basically, slightly different wheels and tyres, a computer / camera mount on the stem, and of course an updated frame.

So if you were a person looking at buying that bike new, getting the 2017 version with little use for <£1k is a pretty good deal.

I suppose a good discount and a good deal are quite different things

I'm unsure its good enough of either to tempt me away from what I actually want
