This week’s Bike of the Week is Diego's ultra-sleek BMC Teammachine R. Diego is somewhat of a newcomer to the area. He arrived from Miami a few years back, where he had started his riding journey.
In Miami, Diego got accustomed to an aero frame with aero wheels. He loved the aerodynamic performance and really enjoyed the quick acceleration and the speed on downhills and flat sections with a deep-section wheelset. However, after moving into an area like Greenwich with its rolling hills, he discovered firsthand that there can be a weight penalty with aerodynamics. Deep tubes and rims are fast, but they’re not always light.
