Stifmeister Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 The Astana team will have their own colour scheme but this is Cyclingnews' test bike, the Naked Carbon version of the BMC Pro Machine SLC01 Sadiq Mohamed 1
smallrebel Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 There's one in Willie's shop. It look nice from far, but if you have a closer look it looks a bit.......................... I'm not to sure about it.
smallrebel Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Have you seen it up close? I feel the same with Cervelo.

I have issues with the aesthetics of the frame, all that architecture around the seat tube, and the gussets around the head tube are not pleasing to me. Same feeling I have for the EPX. But then I haven't really seen this BMC up closeÂ
smallrebel Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 It looks like a hitec dude that's been busy in a darkroom (not taking over the world). Â If you understand what I'm saying. Â You should see if up close to understand 100%.

Boonie Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 I took a look at the same bike in willie's shop, I think it was beutiful. If I had the money to buy one I would. The one in the Team colours.
Evan Andreou Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 That is a d@mn nice bike. Glad to see BMC hasn't let Phonak's demise affect them The Astana team should sign Borat as their PR manager, imagine the press conferences with him and Vino
skelmpie Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Well the bmc SLC01 is rated as best frame at the moment combining ultra-ligth weight and strengh
goofs Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 How much can they chop off the weight. Already the bikes are hitting the min legal weight which i think is 6.8kg
