Unimaginable Quality from European Manufacturing.

We take a very up close and detailed look at the ‪@TheTimeSport‬ Alpe D'Huez road bike frame. Their latest model, and some of their finest work.
We talk about the exclusive RTM Resin Transfer Moulding process involved in the construction, but mostly focus of the overall build quality.
In future videos we are going to try and explain why this matter, why it is important to have precise and strong frames that inspire confidence.
Many thanks to TIME for their help in making this video. The video and stills of the factory are provided with free use to us. We have not accepted any payment or free goods. The ADHX mention is on loan, and the ADH frame mentioned has been paid for by us.
The paint work exhibits a glorious luster, the mounting points are clean, accurate and perfect.

Mmm, the hairdresser should have an "ahh".

A latex hairdresser would make a great indoor trainer! The placement of the power meter strain gages might be tricky. RPM would be easy to determine. Volume control is another issue.

I just kinda wish they used direct mount calipers. So I can just buy a frameset and not go looking again for post caliper brakes. But nonetheless THE GOLD STANDARD of bike manufacturing

[@lukepowell1201]

Tony Karklins who is now the new CEO of Time who is reviving the brand was actually one of the founders of Allied cycles. They're now building a new factory in South Carolina to bring the resin transfer mold manufacturing process to the USA. The Gravel Ride podcast did an interview with Tony and it is really worth a listen.

Can't imagine how I would feel if I scratched it. So great to see a frame that actually walks the walk and isn't just another exercise in bullshit.

Funny thing is how brands like Pinarello, Trek and Specialized charge what they are charging but doesn’t come close when it comes to manufacturing as the lads over at Time

[@mjf1975]

Because the marketing of Trek, Pina etc creates desirability. The more desirable something is, the more you can charge for it Many might also say that for all of the manufacturing excellence of Time, their actual frame ‘design’ could improve - that’s subjective though

[@slowcyclist4324]

Time may be a masterclass in craftsmanship, but as mentioned subjectively their bike are hardly desirable. Anyway it’s not as if having a bike frame that lasts long matters. That’s what my bike insurance is for; when it spoils I’ll just buy a new one.

Time is vastly superior from a technical perspective, you don't have to win me over at all, but when I throw down that much money I want to see the bike and not have to think about another bike that's prettier. And I've not had any issues with the frame since buying it, so I don't regret going for the f12!

In all that I never saw another similar bike!! It has been beautiful to ride while being fast and very comfortable. I still have it and will never sell. I updated recently with a Pinarello F and thought with the passage of so many years I would be blown away with a great difference in every aspect.

Good to hear you’re in one piece! I’ve just changed to a Mips MTB helmet and looking to change my road helmet in the near future… Something I would say is, before buying, make sure you try for fit - I’ve found that the liner can create a slightly different fit, so a new version, of a helmet you’ve been using, may not be a comfortable fit - if a helmet isn’t comfortable, it increases the chance of taking the risk and riding without!

[@SteveWebster376]

I'm still riding my 2005 VXR and love it! If I were to need a new frame, I wouldnt look at anything other than TIME.

[@gemsandlasers269]

Ok, finally convinced myself. Just bought this exact frame in XL, ultegra di2, campy bora wto 45 wheels, deda finishing kit. Hope it's as good as you say!

[@Mapdec]

Good choice!

[@davidoliver4567]

I was sold on the Look 765 Optimum. A few weeks ago I saw the Alpe d'Huez frameset in pink. I know that look and color not the greatest reason for choice of bike, but any and all research told me it's a great bike. Now your glowing admiration as well. Bonus, availability in USA, and they will ship frameset with components still in boxes for me to assemble myself...via email they said (at the time) I could be the first haha for the Hambini bottom bracket. I will be waiting impatiently for the rest of your Time series, especially the review of Alpe d'Huez transformation with existing components. Great idea, it should be interesting to see comparison. Keep up the great work, great to see someone who enjoys their job/work/business as much as you obviously do. Good fortune to you...

[@Mapdec]

The ADH and 765 are very very different bikes. But PINK!! 😳

[@davidoliver4567]

For sure, maybe I will have to turn right and head towards Mt Hood instead of left towards the valleys. Seriously I will wait for your further reviews. I know the Look will probably be great for me, though for my entire life in every facet, skis, cars, golf clubs, running shoes (heck, even regular shoes) bikes, etc I have always chosen a bit above my weight, and I can't think I've ever been disappointed. So we shall see 😎 @@Mapdec

[@davidoliver4567]

and just think of the pressure, a 70 year old on a pink ADH, either people will think I am totally crazy or ??... probably depending on how I ride, haha, the pressure!!!

I recently built up an ADHX and really had to force myself to take it out and get it dirty.

[@johnshellenberg1383]

I was surprised that Time isn't really more expensive than other premium "ultra-bike" frames while it seems no one else actually matches their quality. I've only seen one "in the flesh" as they're very uncommon in Canada and I was blown away by it. I doubt I'd ever be spending that kind of money on a bike, but if I were, the Time would be the one.

Especially when you consider they are made in France rather than in a low labour cost country like most other high end frames.

[@l.d.t.6327]

They are made in Slovakia. But yes, they don't have the marketing budget and aren't sponsoring big teams (anymore). They do the boring frame design / building / selling to customers, but at least their design and build is excellent, and while the prices aren't cheap, you get what you pay for, and contrary to e.g. some big name brands, you almost never hear or see about a faulty Time frame.

[@kamalmalek812]

Thank you for the review. I've been waiting for a replacement to my 10 years old Fluidity for several years now. I hope they won't mess up the geometry and stay true to the old one, with a shorter top tube compared to the competition. I will miss the proprietary head tube system, with its separation of functions. And the integrated seat post. Being able to use standard components is a plus, but I get the feeling they are after cost savings as well. It looks to me that the new ADH is pretty much an ADH21 for ADH01 money.

[@jerryscott9598]

Hi, I'm actually looking at a 10 yr old Fluidity, and was wondering your opinions on them, since I'm assuming you've riding yours a good amount? Anything you needed to change, improve, upgrade? Thanks

@@Mapdec You can get Time in the UK now. Already been to my local shop. I was considering a ADHX and my local shop could get a frame for me to look at.

[@stevemahoney1733]

I had a VXRS worldstar, wish I hadn't sold it. I nicknamed it "More" because it was the only bike I've ridden that became more stable the faster it went. It seemed to align with the planets at about 33k's per hour

[@Mapdec]

Love that feeling.

[@Albdentist]

The ride, it’s about the feel when riding. Very different than a traditional monocoque. Solid, a more grounded, planted feel, the monocoque in comparison feels like I’m riding a plastic hollow tube, quite a bit more skittish on the pavement. I think the best comparison is the Time feels more like a steel bike in the ride quality… My .02 cents

[@Megadeth6633]

14:19 cut old cable where the head is, attach new cable to the old one with tape+superglue and leave a seamless transition between them, and simply pull the old cable out while pulling the new one in. Beats taking your cranks out

Beautiful video showcasing the beauty of Time. I am fortunate to own 3 of, what I consider, the greatest carbon frames made: Colnago C50, Look 585 and Time Fluidity. All 3 are built and rideable with Di2. I enjoy all of them, regularly.

@@jerryscott9598 Assuming all is well with the frame, it can’t be beat. My Fluidity is a 2016 model, which I bought NOS in 2019. Among the 3 I mentioned, the Time is the best all-around performer. The C50 is the most comfortable, the Look the best climber, and the Time the best combination of both.

@@clawdawg7248 Thank you kindly for the reply. I decided against it because of tire clearance and a gouge on chain stay, (chain drop), but will keep looking, (even eyeing a Wilier Zero6 & Look 785 RS Huez, both rim brake), which I'm fine with for the cost savings, (just tough to find clearance for 28-30mm tires).

With you on the rear brake, had to remove some clear coat to get the caliper flush. Also on the BB area, could be slightly larger and with a double spaced, like some other brands. Had to remove the wire guide to fit a Hambine BB. Lastly the brake hose through the fork, very very tight and only possible to route from top down. But it is still a piece of art :-)

I’m hoping to cover some of this when we build the frame.

It reminds me a car maker Pagani. Obsessed with astonishing attention to details and a handmade carbon fibre masterpiece. Just for a curiosity, If you would build a bike for yourself now, would it still be the LOOK frame? 😊

Yes. Because there isn’t a bike in the Time range that suits my riding right now. They are high quality, but not so progressive in design. Whereas the Look optimum and blade are just incredible rides.

[@athleteservice_henley]

Just to say thanks for a great video. Both as a Time owner and fan for 14 years (RXRS VIP which has done more miles than all the other bikes I have owned put together and now more recently an ADHX). But also as a Time dealer (with two of us running the shop with engineering backgrounds) for just as long we have seen a lot of changes with Time and it's so good to see the brand finally getting the recognition it has always deserved not only by engineers and those "in the know" but also the more general cycling market. European (or US) made with unbelieavable quality control can only go well and that's before China invade Taiwan when there will be little other choice. It's just a matter of Time!
