Giacomo Nizzolo's BMC Timemachine R01 Aero Bike | The Most Bling Bike In The Bunch?

[@Max-ck8pq]

I heard this bike became 2nd place of best bikes in this Giro

[@ihzbc]

Hahahahahaha good one 😂🤣

[@markolazarevic4209]

Nice hahahaha

[@SusobhonSamuelMorrison]

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@uclamnguyen1459]

True 2nd in all sprint stage

[@dannymuchtar]

I heard it just became the 1st place today

[@Seppe_Geerinck]

This is really the coolest bike in peleton!!!

[@robinseeberg3715]

This is a seriously cool bike. What an amazing piece of fast art!

[@philippw.1551]

I know the guy who painted the frame. It is a one-man enterprise in Steffisburg, Switzerland. Super nice fellow and a man who truly understands his trade. Superb work!

[@Mansellto]

That BMC is such a good looking frame. Probably my favourite in the world tour atm, or maybe the specialized.

[@JackChickenwing]

cannondale system six for me

[@liviosido763]

sworks tarmac sl7 for the win xD

[@leojmanliclic8000]

THAT BIKE IS A DREAM, HOPE I CAN AFFORD ONE IN THE FUTURE

[@LoaforDie]

Cool looking chain for sure

[@goargoride]

What a sprint at the end of Stage 13 that was..

[@Luke_lw]

surprisingly only one of few aero bikes in the Giro this year!

[@abdulrahmanruslan1771]

Finally, it won!!

[@deanmc178]

looks great , better than my BMC

[@jascollinscork]

Fantastic presentation..... wish you could be with it in person Alex!! I think this could be the best looking bike in peloton🤔 😍

[@muhammadabduh3322]

beautiful rims 😍

[@1ezroller]

Truly modern race bike.

[@TheBatmanjb]

Beautiful

[@eliteharrington7377]

Today Giacomo crossed the finish line in the Giro d'italia like a scalded cat on this beautiful machine.

[@JayLato]

One day we will get aero bar tape

[@ihzbc]

Hope he will finaly get his first GT stage victory after sooooooo much 2nd and 3rd places 😁💪

Done 😍😍😍😍😍😍😁💪💪💪

[@patrickvandesluis7596]

Most beatiful bike in peloton

[@hanyaoyap1826]

Beautiful!

[@aluminati9918]

Great video of a great bike! Killer wheels too. But frankly, any Blingest bike of a Giro has a Campagnolo kit on it... 😎

[@ametti000]

Can we also get the rider weight and height so the bike measurements make more sense. Thanks

[@jimy-kopalencialazo7355]

Preciosa bicicleta!

[@darinsteele7091]

heavy ass bike,

[@rrasra]

where do you get those aero end caps :D

[@PattiTalks]

For a zillion million dollars they come free with the Enve handlebar

[@j.j.thomas9569]

i thought there was a 65mm depth limit for wheels in mass start events?

[@Southerncyclist]

Sweet

[@timocallaghan4408]

I spy the classic vittoria corsa. Best handling bike tyre I ever had in over 15 years. Interesting that you did not display the weighing process this time.. Wonder how much stuff had to be removed to get under 8 kg!

[@harrie974]

What’s the point of a boost saddle when you set it back as far as possible?

[@stefankucera3615]

Because he has smaller frame thats why, has larger stem and saddle so set back

[@danilo_mercado]

Dope.

[@suncuevas1238]

Cool...

[@junalberca361]

Did I just hear Aero Bar Cap?

[@gearhigher2027]

Aero Barend Caps ?

[@lamjeff4153]

is it 11-30 or 11-32 ?

[@csigersted]

I know he isn’t allowed to race with the tool box beneath the bottle cages. But it looks like the bottle cage on the seat tube is moved down near the crank set. Is that a hack or a standard feature on the bike?

[@jochem1986]

It's a hack. The cutout in the bottle cage isn't designed to work with the front mech in this low position. Basically it only works if the front mech has a shape that will tolerate it. There is a bottle cage boss down there, but only to fix the tool box to.

[@cyclonutterd7075]

Is 7.8kg the new 6.8kg, all these bikes are so heavy for the pro peloton

[@AndreasCheng]

80th comment. By the way how did Dan forget how to ride I bike? We need a documentary on that..

[@AndreasCheng]

I mean he’s got the highest ftp out of all the GCN presenters, as proven at the GCN presenter challenge when climbing the Angrilu

[@PattiTalks]

7.75 kg for a size 51?!

[@timocallaghan4408]

I don't even think that's the weight as it sits in the video seeing as they dodged showing it being weighed this time

[@tsc4842]

The size doesn’t effect the weight by much

[@anibaljesusdelgadillo2091]

[@robertocuaresma5086]

[@philipk4475]

Would ditch those wheels and tires in a heartbeat, and I'm guessing those huge chainrings are only there for the sprint stages - likely he'll go compact when it comes to the mountain stages

[@gcnracing]

This was filmed at Milan San Remo, so yes his gearing will definitely change for the Giro!

[@xBALL3R]

Size 51??? The guy is 1.84m He went 3 sizes down oO

[@JS-tb9hu]

Ok now thats insane! Maybe short arms and legs?

[@gcnracing]

He likely has quite short legs as his saddle height is in the low 70s, pretty below average for someone that height

[@HkFinn83]

He isn’t that tall

[@jochem1986]

It’s a size 51 and he’s got a size 54-61 fork in it.

[@JS-tb9hu]

Wouldn't that significantly change the handling of the bike

[@danyeldimas9723]

🚴☄️😍

[@vontzy9089]

I wish i have a bike

[@cooldog2116]

Kinda heavy for that size especially maybe it's the deep rims.

[@philippbeckonert1678]

: "The level of detail in the paint work"... what level of detail?

[@TheGobykoh]

One of the best looking bike in the peleton. Only if it has the weight of a XR4, Aeroad CFR. TMR01 is too heavy for the price.

[@durianriders]

7.75kg with tubulars? Bikes so much heavier now than 10 years ago.

[@jochem1986]

Did you see all the extra real estate over a bike of 10 years ago, Harley?

[@tsc4842]

The BMC Teammachine from Greg Van Avermaet was 7,4kg with rim brakes a few years ago so not that much heavier for an aero bike.

[@mellnhead]

55-42 with 11-30 cassette. Is there anyone who knows how they make this work? I didn’t think that derailleur could handle that.

[@traildoug415]

55-42 is less of a jump than 50-34 so no issue for the rear range wise when run with an 11-30. At worst it would require 2 extra links in the chain over a 53t ring depending on how close to the limit it was. There's usually plenty of room for adjustment left on the braze on mount for vertical when running a 53t front ring so I doubt 55t would be a problem, an oval 53 would probably need the same clearance. Even if it was it wouldn't be hard to print a custom mount. The 42-30 would give pretty much the same ratio as a 39-28 so no loss of bottom end but gaining and extra 3-4% up top.

[@oraszuletik]

Well, on today's stage (8) it was not working 🙄

[@mellnhead]

I have been playing around with the idea of having a 55/42 chainset at the ready for the 30mph tailwind days and KOM hunting. But I assumed that I would have to have an 11-23 cassette ready as well. But this is said to be running an 11-30. On a side note, it has big jockey wheels as well. I wonder if a chain length that we get out of the box is long enough for this set up.

[@jonhmonsalve]

I have a Trek Madone 5.1 with SRAM Red mech. groupset and Dura Ace C 24 wheelset clinchers, with bottlecage and pedals weight 6.7 kgs, I think the industry is hardcore, selling us heavy bikes like this just for pure stethics :/

[@JS-tb9hu]

7.75kg was without bottles I assume? Heard these bmc bikes are heavy

[@gcnracing]

It's a pretty aero set up, so it's going to be on the heavy side, 7.75kg is still pretty light in the grand scheme of things

It has nothing to do with the BMC Timemachine TT bike besides part of the name and the caliper shroud 🙂
