Is BMC a good bike brand?
Being a performance orientated brand, BMC prides itself on its engineering and frame technology. These bikes are a good choice if you’re more interested in picking up a top end frame and upgrading components as you go, or basically if you’re more bothered by the frame than the logo on the shifters and brakes.

BIKE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
BMC STANDS FOR BIKE MANUFACTURING COMPANY AND THAT’S WHAT WE DO BEST. Whether for road, track, or trail, professional athlete or weekend warrior, it is our mission to produce the best bike in every class.
Are BMC bikes made in Switzerland?
The entire production process–from the inception of a new bike, through to its design, prototyping, testing, iterating and all the way to the final product–happens in our Impec Advanced R&D lab in Grenchen, Switzerland.
How much does Mark Cavendish bike cost?
It’s retail cost is £11,500 / $13,000 / AU$19,100. The only thing that Cavendish has specced differently is swap the stock S-Works Romin Evo saddle for the 3D-printed Specialized S-Works Power with Mirror, which is £390 / $450 / AU$750, a premium of £135 / $150 / AU$330.
Do BMC bikes run big?
BMCs in my experience, tend to run a little large for their marked size. I rode the 53 today and it seemed a little small, but you just confirmed what I suspected; that BMC runs a little large. I had them put a hold on the 55 and bring it to the shop near me.

Who manufactures BMC?
BMC Switzerland began life as the Bike Manufacturing Company in 1986. By 1994, the BMC brand was born. A few years later, our dynamic approach to bicycle design truly began to take shape with the injection of Andy Rihs’ vision in 1998 and the subsequent move into the pro peloton with Phonak Cycling Team.
Is Cavendish riding in the Tour de France?
Cavendish’s four stage wins at the Tour de France 2021 took him level with Eddy Merckx on 34; Wout van Aert denied Cavendish a win on the 21st and final stage of this year’s race on the Champs-Elysees in Paris.
Are bicycle manufacturers competing to charge the most?
In recent years, manufacturers have seemingly been competing to see who can charge the most outrageously large sum of money for a bicycle.
Is inflation destroying the value of bikes?
Before the armchair economists chime in, yes, inflation is a thing and it can distort our perception of the value of money over time, but when it comes to bikes, the high-end has been pushed upwards beyond inflation, hasn’t it? Let’s look at some examples…
What is the cheapest road bike on the road?
If we look to Ribble, the only road bike that still sneaks in under the £1k threshold is the Endurance AL Disc in its cheapest build with Shimano Tiagra components and mechanical disc brakes.
Does it make financial sense to buy a halo bike?
That’s hard to say. Of course, buying the halo bike from a range never really makes financial sense; it has to be a heart over head decision to some extent because diminishing returns kick in at much lower prices. A second-tier Specialized Tarmac SL7 is still a better bike than the 2009 S-Works SL2 in every respect that matters.
