You should also note that BMC also has an internal place for the battery (inside the seattube) and is UCI legal.
As far as the brakes, once I had mine set-up they were never touched all season except for adjusting pads between training and race wheels. About a 20 minute process at the most. So I really wouldn't say the brakes are difficult to adjust.
ETA: As far as the aero-ness of the frame, I did not see any difference compared to my Nose-Cone Shiv. Both frames were consistent with speed at a given power. Before I get questioned on my testing protocol, this was based on a season's worth of racing and training on both frames. Both the Shiv and TM01 were roughly the same delta compared to the P3 I had before. So as I brought up when Damon stated the Scott was much faster, the word 'much' is subjective. Is it 20g drag, 50g, 100g? Since this is Cervelo's data we don't know what the gap is, but based on my observations it is right in the mix with the other Superbikes in terms of slippery-ness
