Well, obviously people who don't race cannot be taken seriously, and moreover non-racers have no right to ride anything but a £150 BSO from Decathlon.
Good job the constant snide jibes about that don't get boring.
Anyway- BMC are claiming a 28 watt saving (into a headwind of 50Km/h), which if it translates to a similar saving whilst travelling at 30mph would be very noticable out on the road.
My main reason for testing this bike is because I wanted to see if the game had moved on in the six years since my Cannondale was "current thinking", hence choosing the TMR01 as it's pretty much at the leading edge of the aerodynamic roadbike.
If I (as a leisure cyclist*) cannot tell the difference then there is no point, but as I mentioned earlier, I can certainly tell the difference with the wheels, so I would be interested to see if I can feel the difference from the frame.
