I love bmc but I mean for this bike to be 5k and the tarmac sl7 be the same price but be fully integrated, kind of seems like the tarmac is the better choice
The SLR one that I got last year was 5500 with Force Etap. I love that thing, such an upgrade from the Domane AL3 that I had for the year before upgrading.
@@peterho3299 Yes, they seem to still be doing fine. I got the bike in march and have put 1200 miles on it. I was gone for two months and was unable to ride, otherwise there would be many more miles on it. I have started getting a few flats on the rear recently (2 since I hit 1000 miles, none before). The only other issue I have is the chain drops of the front chainring when shifting from big to small more frequently than I would think is reasonable.
@@Reaper006 - interesting and similar to my experience over the first 1700+ miles. I had annoying FD chain drops too (always big to small chainring). The shop adjusted the FD without success. Then I did so myself per SRAMs instructions, but it still happened. So I installed a K-Edge Pro chain catcher. Problem solved. Hasn't happened again. You should consider it. I also had 3 front tire flats (never rear) in my first 300 miles, so swapped out the Vittoria Rubinos for Conti GP5000s. So far so good. Happy riding.
Ok I definitely like this spot where your showcasing the bike a little better then the other spot. Its the grass and plants there and the really smooth pavement
I had been a black-or-white-bike guy as well as a save-the-rim-brake guy. I guess that I was just being extremely conservative. Now by some really weird chance, a very beautiful bike which I waited for 6 months arrived damaged, their customer service was just bullshit so that I had to return that bike to avoid future problems. And I might end up with this particular BMC because of its availability. By looking at the photos, I can’t say that I hate it. (I “hated” 99% of bikes out there, so I guess it's a good sign.) I am not sure of how I will get along with it, but we will see, probably it’s a good chance for me to get out of my comfort zone a bit, and try something I had refused to try years ago?
Do you have any idea about cube bikes? I am looking at cube nature and I am between that and the Scott sub cross 50 (at last they will be both available in two months). If you can give me an opinion about which of the two I should buy I would appreciate it
@@GCPerformance18 much appreciated! I still have your opinion about the Scott so on one hand I am complete. It looks like the cube is more like a city bike I think, or just ride it in a straight terrain road. It has the German style all over it which is not an issue. Plus there is also the difference in the fork. But the Scott….is Scott…you know what I mean right? 😆😆
Sorry to be off topic but, I need to know what K Edge mount was on the Alpinist handlebars in the Aethos Pro video. I've ordered one and Specialized has no mounts available.
Just picked up the SLR01 in orange over black. I’m coming over from a CAAD10. This thing rides so smooth, but lunges forward when you step on it. Picked this over the Orbea Orca OMX, the other bike that was on my short list.
I love the look of the teammachine, but that isn’t a lot of bike for the money. You’d be much better off going with a TCR or canyon ultimate at that price.
Maid in Switzerland? That's probably why it's like that. 18Lb 10oz with no pedals and no cages ? For 5k, I'm expecting 15pounds. I'd there a rim brake version of this bike ?
@@Imthekingofdogshite Thankfully, some of the manufacturers keep using convergent triangles instead of raising the top tube and lowering the seatstays like so many do today. There are some beautiful new bikes, such as the Salsa WarBird, Bastion's road line, the Cannondale Synapse, Merida Silex, Specialized Aethos, Trek Émonda, Domane & Madone, etc.
@@LeoInterHyenaem I’ll be keeping my CAAD12 and previous Supersix Evo for as long as they’re still functioning. Next bike will be a custom steel with traditional styling. 👌
Honestly..it okay but not for 5k...lol...I've seen better BMCs..maybe the color is throwing me off with the tires...i would rather see it in all matte black with cream/gum/naked side wall tires...it would look sick if it was a matte or satin blue..Im not into the shiny colors on certain bikes..good video though.
Very nice, I like. -Borat

Totally agree because for me its little things like integration that really makes a bike great
Then again there’s others that like to tinker and swap parts. Integrated everything with proprietary parts isn’t always good
Integrated sucks. Trust me 🙂
@@cmx2828 to you
The SLR one that I got last year was 5500 with Force Etap. I love that thing, such an upgrade from the Domane AL3 that I had for the year before upgrading.
The SLR One I got 5 months ago also came with carbon rims (BMC in-house) that have held up quite well. Your CRD-51’s still in good shape?

I agree.......
@@peterho3299 GP5000 is a faster tire but has less protection..I had less flats and better experience with the average continental"4seasons" tire..
OMG the color is so satisfying!
Always the best bikes you show us!
Ok I definitely like this spot where your showcasing the bike a little better then the other spot.

I wish I coudl be there more, but ti is a shop down the street...
@@GCPerformance18 ohhh so it isnt your shop?
Love the color as well. My guy just wanted to ask , do you need to buy new ✋. Lol. Just kidding. Great reviews on your channel as always.
Hahahhaa new hands are always a must
Lovely to see a bike that's not matte black
lmao yes

hell yea the bike is a beast!!! congrats on your new ride
That thing is a tank! 18 lbs 10 oz? The scott rc 10 you showed the other day crushes this into a deep black hole in space imo
lmao I know that bike I built was amaing
Just got the bike and then saw this video, wanted to ask, can i use the stem to BMC Road Bike Stem - ICS01 on to this bike?
yes it can
@@GCPerformance18 thanks, wasn't sure what kind to get? Recommended any BMC kind?
If you were to build your own dreambike, what frame groupset and wheels would you choose?
Probably campy. He's said in the past if he had a bunch of money he'd love campangnolo
shitttt infinite money, right now new dura ace and a sworks tarmac sl7 with a world champion build color..... and probably princton wheeels
@@GCPerformance18 yesssss...those wheels are so sick..I heard Zipp is going at them for saying they copied their wheels..lol
You mentioned the shifting quality of the rival. Would you recommend buying a complete bike with force right now?
Yea I don’t mind force. It is lighter, but I love the revision to the hoods on Sram rival. I think it should be all groups like that
@@GCPerformance18 thanks man, appreciate it!
Never bought a bike with a saddle that I could live with. Heard a lot of good things about the power saddle.
I have the power arc expert (it replaced a Syncros FL 2.0) which is a bit different from the power but I like it so far; it’s pretty comfortable
what is the name of your shop and location? Tks
bicycle generation south florida :)
Something is not looking too good with the tyres/wheels. Maybe that white strip?
I like the contrast for sure
Got the SLR Three, Great Bike
Basically the Four but with Ultegra Mec
Yea bmc is a good looking bike!!
Nice looking bike. Love the colour.
I know you do. As long as it is not black
Omg I was just looking at this bike yesterday
they have it for sale there if you want call bike science, pompano beach
For 5k (used) do you get this or a Specialized Aethos? Or a used Canyon Endurance for 3k?
if you want ocmfort go specialized aethos for sure
@@GCPerformance18 More comfortable than the Endurace? Seems like they're both compliant and the Aethos has a more aggressive geometry.
wheels could be better but that frame looks very nice
same here
You choose great bikes for presentation 😜...
Thank you very much!!
So heavy you didn't want to weigh it?
I forgot to film it
I love the look of the teammachine, but that isn’t a lot of bike for the money. You’d be much better off going with a TCR or canyon ultimate at that price.
Maid in Switzerland?
That's probably why it's like that.
18Lb 10oz with no pedals and no cages ?
For 5k, I'm expecting 15pounds.
I'd there a rim brake version of this bike ?
I do not know if they have rim brake version of this exact bike
I know that you give objective views, but what bikes do you sell at your store?
Huffy
specialized and scott....... not bmc or pinarello
I'm a Bianchi guy myself.
Weight?
I don’t know I’m sorry
Corratec color !
thank you!!!
If it was integrated then it would be worth the $5k.
I would think soo too
I think for 5k all cables should be tucked away, at least
they make a verison like that for the same money it doenst make any sense
I wonder what designers will be thinking of the stupid fad of horizontal top tubes and dropped seatstays 10 years from now.
All these new bikes are so ugly.
@@Imthekingofdogshite Thankfully, some of the manufacturers keep using convergent triangles instead of raising the top tube and lowering the seatstays like so many do today.

yea I agree I would thikn it would need tocome with integrated cables
Alloy wheels for 5K? pass......
hahahah alot of bikes are alloy handlebars for 5k no lie
@@GCPerformance18 I like alloy bars, wheels, no.
5k with training wheels??? garbage, if the market is getting more expensivethe brands need to at least give us a good package for 5k
winspace prove that brands can do amazing wheels for an amazing price, this brands need to start putting the consumer first instead of theire pockets
thta is a lot of companies
