If you don't mind sharing, what's your height?

Did you consider the BH G6? Normal brakes and did very well in the aero tests.

Would anyone consider the TMR01 over the Dogma F8 / GAN RS?

I like the Argon look better. Even with all the spacers in that pic it looks good. Check out BORA Argon team pics and race pics.

I am 178cm. I know I need to sort out the spacers. Just trying to find time for bike fit.

Considered a Cervelo S2/3 ?

I've been considering a BMC TMR01 as I love the look of the bike, but stayed away out of potential brake and comfort issues.
Plumping for a Cervelo S2/3 instead - normal brakes and the plush rear triangle from the R series.

I had a TMR01 for about 6 months now. Rides great, a little stiff but if you have the right seat and fit then no issue.

Brakes...yes they are kind of a pain to adjust, what do you expect, but it take at most 5 min and your good to go! They dont really need readjusting once its dialed in.

And it looks awesome!

That is a sweet looking bike! Is a long distance ride comfortable enough, or even doable... would you say? Also, does it clear 25mm tires and do you know the widest width wheel it could clear?

I have done a few 4 hour rides, no more discomfort that a "normal" carbon bike. I have 25mm gp4000 ii on it right now and there isnt much more for anything else, I ride a 49, but maybe a bigger frame could do bigger tires...not sure about widest wheel width, I have the Eastons on it now 22mm wide i believe, and it could fit wider, but dont quote me on that!
Hope this helps!
