BMC TM01 Brakes

[tonto1]

Desperately looking for one of these for a BMC Time Machine - http://www.evanscycles.com/products/bmc/hook-unit-...

Any suggestions appreciated

I've just had a bit of a bored google for them. Evans seem to be the only place to even list them!

Have you tried contacting BMC direct, or asking Evans (who seem to be the sole UK distributor) when they can get one in?

Evans are the only dealer of BMC in the mainland. Slane cycles in NI sell BMC: http://www.slanecycles.com/

Other than that, there is Mud Dock who only sell the impec: http://www.mud-dock.co.uk/impec/

I would start by emailing Evans, then Slane, then Mud Dock.

Another suggestion: It's highly unlikely that BMC make their own brakes, you can probably find an equivalent part from something / someone else's brake parts catalog. Might take some careful google research tho.

According to the owners' manual (which is googleable, and contains the full works of how to actually build the bike up from scratch) the brakes are unique to that bike. Obviously the individual part might not be, but it's going to make it harder to find!

To be taken with a pinch of salt possibly

Arms are no doubt custom, but the top part, pipe, hook etc looks like pretty much standard v-brake top end..
