Price scope and source

Teammachine SLR complete bikes, 27a listings, from SLR THREE Black (low) to SLR 01 ONE Grape Soda Carbon (high). Model year: Not stated on pages; image file names indicate 2027 (BMC code 27a).

Low end checked on the SLR THREE product page, high end on the SLR 01 ONE product page. Displayed USD prices on 2026-10-17 for 27a listings only; 26a prior-year builds shown on sale and framesets are excluded. Low-stock and out-of-size wording is not an availability claim. The collection pages rendered only part of the listing, so an unseen build could price outside this range.

Where this frame sits

Each dot is one published frame size. The green band is GnR’s fixed geometry benchmark. Frames to its right have longer reach at the same stack (Aggressive); frames to its left have shorter reach (Relaxed). The benchmark does not change with bike type or catalog additions.

Comparable frames from other brands

Each is the closest match to this frame’s size 54 (stack 550 mm, reach 386 mm) among current road frames from other brands.

Prices are the maker’s US list prices for complete bikes on the date shown, and include sale prices on that date. Ranges cover only the named builds, not every bike in a family. Framesets, tax and shipping are excluded. A displayed price, including an archived sale price, does not establish stock or a purchasable offer. Retailer prices and later changes are not tracked.

Find alternatives to this frame

Use this exact chart as your reference, select your size, then explore similar dimensions or a deliberate position change. Confirm the frame generation matches your bike before using it.

Does similar geometry mean the same fit?

Similar frame dimensions are a starting point. Saddle height and setback, seat-tube geometry, stem length and angle, headset spacers, handlebars and control position affect the completed bike. Review those details before buying.
