Picked this up at the weekend from my LBS in Rutland, UK (Windmill Wheels)
As far as BMC is aware it's the only 2020 model with Campagnolo in the country (and only a handful in the world at the moment)
BMC Teammachine SLR01 Disc (56)
Campagnolo Super Record EPS 12 Speed Groupset
Campagnolo WTO 45 wheels
Vittoria Control Tyres
Shimano Dura Ace Pedals
Specialized Power Arc Saddle
It's just a pity the weather is so horrible at the moment, it's too nice a bike to get covered with all the crud and salt on the roads

Gorgeous bike! I would have built it exactly the way you have. Great job!

Perfect. Pretty much.
Almost. Take off a few headset spacers from under stem and voilà !!

I probably will drop it down a notch or so but need to get some miles on it first and get comfortable with it - I don't think slamming the stem on day 1 would be the smartest move in the world.

The gold details on the 2020 frames looks awesome. I don't think I've ever seen a Campag build on a BMC SLR01 before.
That is a very lovely bike. It's hard to imagine a higher-end build than that. As mentioned by the OP, a shame the weather in UK has been locked into rain and filthy roads since September. At some point it will get dry again and that machine can be taken out.
I built a 2012 version of the SLR01 with Campag EPS a few years ago, it's still my good weather bike. BMC are not especially Campag-friendly, it has to be said.

In the words of the builder it was a complete b******d to build!

A beautiful build. I'm building a Teammachine myself, and it looks like the V4 interface is placed in the lower tube, and that it is the type designed to be plugged into the handlebar. Is this some custom job?
Thanks
