At a glance the BMC Time Machine TT02 looks no different from its $12,000 counterpart, the TT01. In fact, the first time you see it you probably will think it's a TT01. The similarities are indeed that strong. As you likely know, the fully carbon fiber TT01 is a made-to-order, custom-only wunderframe that requires a 12-16 week lead time from the time of purchase. In comparison, the TT02 comes in stock geometry, it incorporates a mix of aluminum and carbon to keep the price in check, and it's available for immediate sale. The technical and aesthetic resonances between the bikes are so intense, though, that even if price is no object for you, it's hard to pass up the TT02.

The top tube and downtube of the TT02 are made out of meticulously shaped aluminum tubing to give BMC the utmost flexibility in shaping the tubes to the purposes. You'll note how tall the top tube is near the head tube -- giving it excellent aerodynamics and loads of resistance to torsional flex as you big ring it down the road. The downtube has an airfoil shape to further optimize aerodynamics. These tubes have internal cable routing to add extra invisibility to the wind.

The skinny-yet-massive seat tube is made from carbon and it's built with a cut-out to offer a fairing-like effect for your rear wheel that indeed looks straight off the TT01. By combining the carbon seat tube with a carbon seatstay, you get an ideal balance of lightness and resistance to lateral flex. The integrated multi-position carbon seatpost that comes standard with the frame seamlessly inserts into the seat tube, offering an added aero advantage.

The TT02 comes in bright red with black, and it comes standard with Easton's phenomenal EC90 Aero full carbon fork. It also comes standard with an FSA integrated headset. It's available in 4 sizes in 700c wheels only.
