From the pix I saw it appeared all Team BMC riders opted for the venerable SLR01 for the Tour of Flanders. I imagine we'll see some GF01s in the Paris Roubaix?


Impec, TMR01, GF01; all interesting but...

I thought it looked like they rode the SLR for Nice also. Have not seen any Impecs but it is hard to tell unless tey do close ups.

I'm not so sure they'll ever race the Impec. I remembered some of the team members were on the Impec a few years ago but they've all switched to the SLR01. I wouldn't mind riding the GF01 though. Saw one guy on it a few weeks ago and it looked really nice.

Looks like at least some riders are opting for the GF for Paris Roubaix...

All the guys were on the GF01 for Roubiax!

weight difference

I just noticed a near 1Kg weight difference of the Di2 SLR01 and the Mechanical Dura Ace SLR01. But apart from a EA90SLX instead of EA90SL Wheels and tubular instead of clincher tyres, well, and the saddle, I could not see a difference in those bikes. So I wonder is the electronic frame that much lighter?

My 55cm 2012 mechanical frame is 950gm actual weight. I don't thing the elec frame is substantially lighter. Fork is 315 gm. Tubies vs clinchers can save 1/2 kg.

Edit: I'll add that I also have a 2011 55cm SLR01, SRAM Red, HED Ardennes clinchers, and complete weight with pedals, saddle and cages is just under 16 lb.

All I know is my ultegra Di2 with C24 9000 CL wheels weighs right at 15.6-7ish
