BMC bikes

Anyone got one? Looking for some feedback on these bikes as a guy is selling one local to me

May or May not be relevant but I almost bought a BMC TT bike a couple of months back.
I saw it in Evans one day and it took my eye. Beautiful looking, lightweight machine with Di2 shifting aswell.
It was hard not to buy it. But it was £5000. So the old credit card went back in the wallet. Hard to walk away though!

Fantastic brand but a little more info on model might be helpful.

It's a SL01 road racer

Lovely looking bike although not ridden one myself - think they come in different groupsets though from 105 to Di2 so check which it is first.

105? Di2?

 

[LimeBurn]

Sorry - the groupset is the type of gears and drivetrain that it has fitted from the most basic shimano 2300 or Sora etc, tiagra, 105, ultegra and dura ace. There are also electronic versions of ultegra and dura ace. Benefits of the better systems are lower weight and smoother shifting. Downsides are cost whereas a cheap set up maybe a couple of hundred pounds and Di2 is a few thousand. There are also similar systems with both sram and campagnolo makes of groupset too.

The better versions of the bikes will also typically have better specs on other things too like wheelsets and outfitting. Stems, saddles, seatposts etc.

I had a racemaster SLX01 like this for about 3 or 4 years. Fantastic bike. Still fetched good money when I sold it.

Have a look at the SLR02 as its one of them comfy road bikes.. very nice bikes..

 

[sawyer280769]

Think it's a 2008/09 model (orange and white). It looks a decent bike and a bit different

 

[sawyer280769]

If anyone knows anyone who's had/got one then I'd be interested to hear there thoughts on the brand and bike

You said it's the 2009 model, so I assume it's the aluminium frame with carbon fibre additions. Great looking bike and the Ultegra parts will be nice and smooth.

If it's a decent price, I'd go for it. A mate of mine loves Cadel Evans so he rides one, I've had a shot and though it's too small for me it felt a very comfortable and assured ride.
