BMC Teammachine R01 Size

Hello everyone,

I’m seriously considering buying a BMC Teammachine R01 Two. It’s obviously a major purchase that will replace my 2012 Felt F1.

I’m unsure about the frame size. For context, I’m 34 years old and a former competitive cyclist, so I’ve always been used to very race-oriented riding positions. I’m 180 cm tall with an 87–87.5 cm inseam. I feel like I’m between two sizes. Do any of you own this bike and have any recommendations for me?

On another note, I tested it with a 36 cm handlebar. Coming from a 42 cm, it felt particularly awkward. So I’m thinking of switching to a 38 cm to avoid too big a difference - what do you think?

Thanks for your advice 😄

P.S.: Here’s a photo of the model I tested; I think the saddle height is still 1 cm too low for me
