Yes, any frame smaller then 51 cm will be sloped. I know many doesn’t like it but I ride a frame that fit.
how about the feel of ride ?

Not sure if you've already decided on your bike size, but based on a Defy with a 60 stem, the BMC Teammachine SLR01 isn't going to accommodate your position well at all. Out of the 2 sizes you're considering, the 51 should fit less badly as it barely has any additional reach, but it's closer to the stack of the Defy. If you're ordering the disc version, BMC has a calculator dealers can use, enter handlebar stack, handlebar reach, saddle height, and it gives you which sizes will fit, how they'll fit. Remember, the disc can only be used with their proprietary -10 (or so) degree stem.dcngr wrote:Hi all
Im ordering a bmc teammachine slr 01. Its my first real competitive bike. Can't decide between 47 or 51. Im 166cm tall. Im using the competitive cyclist fit calculator and then using Ridley website for stack and reach. Im border line between the two. I've heard the smaller size could prove to cause neck and shoulder stress and go for the 51 for longer term comfort.
Any advice or opinions most welcome. My head is wrecked trying to figure it out.
Thanks
WOW! That looks amazing. Any chance of some more shots such as side on please?Drizt wrote:I'm 173cm tall
Saddle height from middle of the bb to top of the saddle is about 724mm
I'm on a 51 team machine disc as the 54 was too big (legs smashed against top tube.
Previously owned medium propel and medium tcr disc
Hope that helps

had the same issue when I took mine out for the first time, had to reapply assembly paste and raise the torque to ~6-7Nm iirc, spec sheet says only 5NmDrizt wrote:Sure. And thanks.
I'm having some issues with the seatpost sliding down... so the post is meant to be a bit higher than in the photo.
