The new Teammachine is allegedly getting those integrated cages and removable toolbox. Not sure what’s confusing about that.

it's too soon for a new timemachine.. it's been <2 years and they are not specialized. Last timemachine road went nearly 6 years before being replaced.
Besides if you read what BMC wrote on the post it is clear why they posted the picture

If they put toolbox I thing the weight will go up. If I'm right in Timemachine toolbox with bottle cages and probably bottles weight about 0,5 kg.robeambro wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 10:32 amNo idea sorry - I'm just reporting what I've read on an Italian forum, where people with a good relationship with dealers have been shown the bike and have reported their impressions. I'm sure the same "treatment" will have been given to others here, so hopefully somebody will be able to chime in with more details..Pukutis wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 10:02 amDo you know if they were able to improve weight?robeambro wrote:Right so, a few more info I've gathered. Dealers have now seen it and some people have been able to take a sneak peek, but were very much discouraged from sharing them. I suppose Swiss take their embargoes more seriously than others..
- cockpit will be one piece "upon request". Unsure if this means that they keep the usual ICS.
- unfortunately (for me at least), aero toolbox is there.
- tube shaping a bit more "squished" for aero.
- fork has changed a bit, but more or less, it still looks very much like a BMC.

Big yes to all of these. Except the price increase of course, but that's expected. I know a lot of people don't like the integrated bottles/compartment that's on the TMR, but I personally like it. It's designed for aero which provides much more benefit than the weight penalty.Woland wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 6:55 pmRead somewhere else:

I hated the fact that the aero module added 500g to my Timemachine. I subsequently removed the storage case and was still stuck with relatively heavy bottle cages. I also disliked the weird appearance of the downtube/BB area without the case.
