Picked up this frame on a super deal and have always wanted a Time, so really pleased with the way it turned out. The ride is silky smooth and power transfer is amazing!

    Look after that, that is an amazing machine - you are very lucky! 8)

    Thanks guys :)
    It certainly does get looked after well. I have a separate training / commuting / winter bike, so the Time is strictly for competition and other rides that matter. I can't stand it being dirty, so a thorough clean is a must after pretty much every ride. Hopefully it ages well as there probably won't be a replacement coming along any time soon!

    That's one beautiful machine! I like the Campagnolo theme going on.

    Awesome bike, the Time frames always look amazing. Saw one at a Sportive the other week and couldn't get over how well made they are. Yours looks like a great bike. Congrats!

    I am trying to persuade my misses, that i need a Time RXRS but at in excess of 5k for the frame she is having none of it!

    Where did you get it from, if you do not mind me asking?
  • TMRTMR Posts: 3,986
    I looked at the images and my first words were "F*ck me that's nice!" ;)

    That is sweet, Time's do look the nuts and yours is no exception. Possibly the best looking bike on here and nice to see it fitted with Campag too.

    Picked up the frame from Wiggle and built the bike myself. If you keep an eye out, some great deals come up occasionally :)

    Holy censored that's nice. I don't know what it is, but a classy bike just jumps off the page in a way a Boardman or Comtat or Trek doesn't. That's the emotional response and it's never failed me. The Time just looks hot.

    The choice of the mute wheels is smart, if they had the usual white decals the whole thing would be too much. The frame is actually quite busy isn't it? The white hoods and tape are excellent with the rest. The bar-levers set up is perfect, who set it up for you?

    What's a "good deal" for such a bike? 4-5k?

    Thanks!

    Yeah, frame is quite busy. I like the gloss carbon look though and all Time frames have quite a bit going on. The matt versions are a bit more subtle but dont quite do it for me.

    I built and set the bike up myself. Setup is important - its got to look right, but also needs to suit your position on the bike. In my opinion, as long as you have the right size frame, you really should be able to get things like shifter positioning, bar angle and seat angle right. Even little things like gear cables being too long annoy me so I make sure that all of these things are right on my bike. Thanks for noticing! :)

    Price, not sure. I didn't build it in one go and haven't added it all up (probably best that I dont, as I think £5k would probably be a bit shy).
