The Stealth version does NOT include a TT Bag or bar extensions. It features a flat cockpit, rear storage, and brakes. The Red frame comes with the bag and extensions. What you see in each picture is what will be included with that particular color frame.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBMC’s  Timemachine is such a fast performer, BMC needed four years to find a way to  improve it. The new timemachine 01 is faster with no wind, faster in  crosswinds, and easier to fit. In addition, if you need to carry stuff on the  bike, there’s more room for it with less aerodynamic penalty. And the frame is  UCI-legal across their size run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe old  timemachine had impressive straight line aerodynamics. The new timemachine  improves on straight line aerodynamics, real world aerodynamics, and crosswind  aerodynamics. The subA tube shapes have been further refined. Many profiles  have been truncated, which doesn’t cost you at all in a headwind, better  shrouds water bottles and gear, and is less susceptible to side-forces when  riding in crosswinds. Added stability means you spend less time fighting your  bike and more time laying out the watts. Shrouding water bottles is no small  deal, as you need to carry water, and most wind tunnel tests do not account for  this. With cage mounts on the seat tube and three bolts on the downtube, you  can choose how you want your hydration. The downtube yields two positions for  bottles, the lower is more aero, but if you have trouble reaching low, or want  to run two bottles, use the upper position. The tube shaping makes the most  dramatic improvements with round bottles, but aero bottles benefit as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, the integrated bar\/stem combo is faster. They actually have two different combinations sitting atop the improved bayonet fork. A raised V-cockpit that comes standard with complete bikes and is better for less flexible riders. A flat-cockpit that comes on the stealth frameset. With the V on the red frame, the stack spacers have a range of 590-705mm in  height. With the flat, the range is 530-670mm. And with the flat setup, the  base bar can be flipped over, giving you a range of 40mm below the stem to 40mm  above the stem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn both  cases, particularly in the raised cockpit setup, the arm supports channel air  more cleanly, reducing drag. There are a set of top tube mounts midway back  on the top tube for boxes. This might look unusual, but it worked out to be  faster in the wind tunnel, so BMC departed from tradition to give you speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fork itself has widely-spaced legs, giving the air an easier time flowing past the legs and wide rims. Both the fork and rear triangle can work with rims up to 28mm wide and tires up to 27mm wide. Horizontal rear dropouts have  adjustable stops, so you can position the wheel as close to the frame as  possible regardless of the tire width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final  aero touch is the rear storage box. This is not UCI-legal, but it is for multi-sport riders. It’s big enough to fit a tubular plus tools and inflator. The  box mounts behind the seat post when the forward mounting option is employed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo offer the  most fit options in their P2P, Position 2 Perform, system, the seat post has a rearward mount and a forward mount. In addition, the saddle clamp  has four positions. This yields a huge range  of adjustment, going from a virtual 71.5 to a virtual 80.8-degree seat angle,  with 124mm of total fore-aft adjustment. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo get the  maximum speed out of a frame, integration is essential. That’s why the fork has  integrated brakes, and the rear brakes hide under the chain stays. But BMC wasn’t  satisfied with their earlier efforts on this front. They developed a brake  booster system, giving you more power at your fingertips for less effort. They  also developed something they call the quick-pad cartridge system. This makes  it easy for you to swap pads from your carbon-specific race pads to your  aluminum training wheel pads. Pulling and replacing cartridges is as easy as  swapping pads on conventional brakes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBMC embraces  options. They have Dual Transmission Integration here. You can run electronic  or mechanical, even hydraulic shifting. However, the complexity of running  mechanical is such that they only offer complete bikes with electronic shifting  and recommend it when you’re building up your own steed. Likewise, they utilize  the BB86 bottom bracket standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BMC  timemachine 01 makes it easier to go faster, both for how it allows you to find  the perfect position and for how it slices through the air outside.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BMC","offers":[{"title":"Stealth \/ S","offer_id":44045404110892,"sku":"10114324","price":1499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Red \/ S","offer_id":43652129849388,"sku":"301586-006606","price":1499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Stealth \/ M-S","offer_id":43508614889516,"sku":"10114325","price":1499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Stealth \/ M-L","offer_id":43508614856748,"sku":"10114326","price":1499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/bmc-timemachine-01-tri-frameset-1108444.jpg?v=1771302012","url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/products\/bmc-timemachine-01-tri-frameset","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
