Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I don't really like the colors on the Pro Machine. One has an autumnal look to it, which looks like a BMC with a bunch of gourd-colored patches all over it and the other one is, well, red.

This one looks better IMHO; plus, it has lugs:

Nice that it is lighter. According to Competitive Cyclist, the teammachine SLR01 frame in 55 weighs 930 grams. My 2007 55 cm ProMachine was listed as 950 grams, but weighed 1070.

A 55cm frame with paint, decals, BB guide and a derailleur hanger weighs 930g.

holy jeebus. they nailed the new teammachine.

Team BMC added riders as stellar as George Hincapie, Karsten Kroon, Alessandro Ballan, and Marcus Burghardt, turning them from a decent Pro Continental team to one sure to contend for victory in any 1-day race it enters.
^ debatable, but I can't wait to see what happens.

I actually really liked the previous Team Machine, but I dig this one, too.

I'm real close to taking a now-discontinued red, white, and black Team Machine demo bike off an LBS's hands.

The TeamMachine, RaceMaster, and RoadRacer are my favorites but I don't like the others.

I just toyed with the famous Competitive Cyclist Kit Calculator, to see what a built bike might look like. CC measures actual component weights nowadays, so that this might be more accurate than in years past.

These aren't the components I'd necessarily choose, but that is what CC offers. Its funny that CC doesn't offer more WW boutique stuff, like ZG or ee brakes, Edge rims, etc.

I prefer the old streetfire frame and the old promachine colour schemes. Which is just as well as I own both!

The new Team Machine looks good to me.

must resist gratuitous photo post...

The CC weight calculator tends to be 1lb+ optimistic. Stlll, a sub 14lb bicycle is very light.

Hey Gordo, they sell BMC @ Piermont, go talk to Glenn about a bicycle. Tell him Titanium Pete sent you.

I'm sure it's a sweet rig, however, I wish they would have extended the seat stay to meet the top tube. Just not a fan of that look.

Glenn's got a deal where he'll sell your old crap -- and not just bike crap, any crap -- on eBay, and put the cash from that auction (minus his cut) towards a store credit. It's a pretty cool deal, though I have yet to take advantage of it for anything quite as large as a complete bike. He's sold tons of tiny things for me though.
