Should YOU buy the 2023 BMC Roadmachine Three?
Спорт
I got the chance to checkout the 2023 BMC Roadmachine Three. This is an endurance bike that sits in BMC's roadbike catalouge. I found it to be a combination of aggressive and endurance, a pretty good all-rounder. Check out my review.

Hahahaha thank you!
Hey buddy. Good to hear from you. Im still rockn the felt AR. Has been a year and lots of miles and still haven't adjusted much on it. Just works. BTW, felt just released new VRs and FRs. No one is talking about them on you tube. Hint hint

Hey man, good to hear from you too! Glad to hear the AR is still going strong for you and that you haven't needed to adjust it much. Yeah I heard about the new bikes from Felt. They look really cool, and I agree, I'd love to have the chance to check them out. I too wonder why they haven't gotten much attention on YT. Their whole lineup seems very nice.

@@hikerbikeromar super high quality. Only thing i can think is, the mystery is part of their persona. Felt sponsored athletes have been racking up win after win. Maybe thats all the publicity they need? Anyway, just gave my brother my Damone, so im in the market for an endurance bike 🤔

@@universe-juice very possible! Yeah I’ve noticed how their riders are stacking tons of wins these days. That’s good, I want their bikes to get more publicity. Haha lots of choices for endurance bikes for sure! That new Canyon Endurace is catching my eye lately, though I’ve never tried it.

I'm sitting in the parking lot of a bike shop. After looking at this exact bike. Has Di2 Ultegra for $3800.

Excellent deal!
Noticed the Roadmachine 01 Four is on sale for a similar price. Would you suggest that or the Roadmachine Three given similar price point?

Oh wow, just noticed that too! That's a really awesome deal. I would absolutely go for the Roadmachine 01 Four instead. It's going to be a better carbon, a better wheelset, and an integrated cockpit. Between the two for almost the same price, I'd say the 01 Four is a no brainer. You may even be able to negotiate a bit more off as well. Thanks for sharing!
Probably a small thing to some but I just can't get past the exposed cables up front at this point.

I agree, I really wish they were hidden. Although, I know some people prefer exposed cables for ease of maintainance.

@@hikerbikeromar oh I get the maintenance part. I just prefer the clean look of the frame and nothing else if possible.
What bike trail was that you were riding on?

@edvictor3258 oh cool! Yes definitely check it out. I also really like the Santa Ana River bike trail which starts in Corona and goes all the way down to Huntington Beach (or you could start in Huntington Beach. It’s 60 miles round trip with no cars or traffic crossings.
Whats the weight of the original bike? Thanks in advance)

Unfortunately I did not have a scale, so I am not entirely sure, but I did read online that it weighs 18.17lb stock.

I really enjoy your videos but if you’re reviewing a bike, I think you should use the wheels that came on the bike.

Totally agree with you. I wish I had them. I hesitated to post this for that very reason, but decided to anyway. Thank you for the feedback🙏
dude, they hiding all cables. why in the world do they have to mega long cables at the front :D i know its a pain for mechanics with the internal cables but it looks so bad on the headtube. bike would look so freakin insane with integrated headtube cables :(
