What u guys think about this bikes?
Now I’m riding Argon E114 and fells really good
but don’t know what should I get!
If you have the coin for the TT01 and don’t think your fit will EVER change…go for it and post pics. We want to hear about the trip for the fit too!
Or do you mean the BMC TM01?
U right man!!! TM01!!! the new one…sorry
If your current bike, which is a great bike, feels good, then why upgrade?
I think the TM01 only has one flaw, and that is the lack of a proprietary basebar or aero bar that is designed to aid in the aerodynamics of the new frame. Other than that, I think BMC thought of all the great new feautres that triathletes want. No, I don’t consider an internal bladder on the wishlist.
I have the TT01 and its awesome. Has b een for six years now. I imagine the TM01 will be even better
Thats my main concern!
The E114 is really good, but I have been using it a lot and it’s getting king of ugly, and I think that is the right moment to try to sell it.
I really love the bike thats why my doubt about this two, but BMC looks really sick
and with both i think I can ride it for long, long time, they seems to be strong
I believe this is what you are needing:
.
nice!
if that’s yours, i’ve got some follow ups for you:
what seat angle are you riding?
are you in the most forward position for that seatpost?
it looks like you have the seat in the middle of the rails; in that position, can you attach a single bottle cage, a la Leito, Crowie, etc?
how was adjusting that front end (stem, base, etc)? it looks a little complicated.
how would you describe the finish of the frame? all the pictures i’ve seen give it a cloudy or occluded look.
and, DAMN, that’s sweet!!!
It is a four position seat post, this is set in the second most forward position, moving one forward will get you about 80 degrees plus you can move the seat forward on the rails.
The finish is a matte black, stunning!
You can attach a bottle on the back and one really unique feature is that the front and rear integrated brakes actually work!
Overall kick ass bike!

Sweet!!! How does it ride?
It is awesome, stiff, absorbs the road chatter and handles great, not sketchy at all.

Thanks!
I thought these werent shipping until January. Mistaken? Or do you have some super secret hookup that Im really jealous about?!
OK,OK lots of BMC people. Have you checked out the new Argon E118? Providing it would meet your fit coordinates. Go to the Argon site and watch the video for the new 118. If you are now on an E114, as I am this bike will blow you away and the price is far below the BMC. There are no extra or different parts to purchase for the integrated front end. Everything you need for the correct fitting is supplied with the bike.

That’s implying that the BMC requires you to buy additional parts which is false. The integrated, yet modular stem of a BMC comes with all the little spacers to make all the different stem angle combinations. I dont do fitting… but I would guess that makes it easier than this sounds:
" The stem piece is completely integrated with the fork and cannot be swapped to adjust fit. The stem can adjust the horizontal position of the aerobars substantiall and the ability to adjust the vertical position comes from the aerobar. The pads can be lifted substantially with spacers and can also be drawn backward toward the rider slightly."

Plus I can throw on a 3t Brezza Nano bar up front for extra bling.
The argument of price… The frame on an E-118 is ~$4,400. The TM01 frame is ~$4500. So I guess “far below” is a matter of semantics?
Your right, they are not available until January, super secret hookup!
The front end is super adjustable and all the parts come with the bike and the adjustment is quite simple.
Thats really sick!
can u get a in reality a negative rise stem combo
.
I really REALLY like the new E116
.
Mine is on order. Jealous that you already have yours. Can’t wait to build it up with di2—I think BMC has nailed it.
