Anyone owned any BMC bikes?

Looking at a Team Machine SLR03

I used to ride a sr01 . Loved the frame it was very responsive, spritely and smooth. Wish I'd kept it as a winter bike ...I would get another.

go for it

you changed your mind about disc brakes? You were set on them the other day.

I now have full access to the Wattbikes in work. Just need to research how they work it was all circles and percentages when I had a 10 minute go at lunch.

Remember Colin you need to buy the bike soon time is getting tight

Thanks I shall have a good read.

Good mood was blown out of the water about five minutes after my post when my work, confirmed that they WILL NOT do any type of Cycle to Work scheme for anyone that has joined them under TUPE. I have to change my contract to get their own scheme. Changing contract is never going to happen. I'd loose 9 days annual leave and they would also cut my wages.

Thank the lord the gym in our place has nothing to do with the company I work for and is run by our hosts.

I'm now highly tempted to just buy the bike I have been looking at, and cope with the grief from the gaffer for spending even more money SOO soon.

NO nine days more work and lower wages too. But I would have the option of buying my leave back.
