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.

holy jeebus. they nailed the new teammachine.

^ debatable, but I can't wait to see what happens.

I need to cut my steerer

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.

Talked to Glenn about 2 weeks ago.They are going to sell my Cadd 9 for me when I am ready.Now I have to decide between BMC or Cervelo ??I think my girlfriend may be leaving me after this purchase.

[QUOTE= ??I think my girlfriend may be leaving me after this purchase.[/QUOTE]

Good for you. Better she leaves with nothing as your girlfriend than as your wife with your new bike!

Just sayin'


KRhea

Good point....I need to put the bike in the Prenup

They were a dealer for LW last yr. I am not sure why they are not now. [cough,economy,cough] LOL.

Put simply, the new BMC lineup makes my shorts fit tighter.

Did you mean to post this over in the what-to-do-if-you-just-found-$10k thread?

Yeah, I took a crap too.

Is this the one the team will ride?

Wouldn't that loosen things up?

Just finished my review of the Team Machine, Check it on my blog.

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.

whoa whoa... so let's say i wanted to get a bmc, they'd help me sell my caad9 to finance it? :D

nice write up! I think when :roll gets them back in stock, I'll have to test ride one just to feel it!

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.
