Looks fab other than the chainrings (for me). I’d go for something plainer and more skeletal (extralites?).

If this ever becomes an 'ex' and is a 56 I would be all over it. What a classic.

Nice to see you used the same stem of its era, blends well with the frame logos

How does it ride!? Give us your persepctive on a top frame from ~12 years ago vs. now e.g. vs F10, Factor bla bla

Smooth n' flexy is my bet ;)

I wouldn’t say flexy but definitely smooth like butter

Awesome! Love the slim tubes and the lugs. Aerobar isn’t my thing but it suits the bike in a way.
Oh, it's all right. I'm sure that we can handle this situation maturely, just like the responsible adults that we are. Isn't that right, Mr... Poopy Pants?

How does this differ from the RXR Ulteam, because to me the RXR Ulteam is an unrideable noodle. The new Scylon has gotten rid of that noodle effect at least.

For all you people bitching* about new Time road frames having max tire width of 28 mm, the VXRS Ulteam has a max tire width of 23 mm.

So thin is the clearance that it'll scrape anything inflating to more than that.
You refer to the new AdH disc here? Really absolutely no room for anything more than 28 WAM?
Same clearances as old model. Check Andy's review shared above. 30mm tires will scrape the frame/fork.

@JasonFly: They had been hinting they were working on the (this) new frame even before launching the ADHX, so my money is on this being it for a good few more years - which is why I gave up on my new bike being a Time. No way am I committing to a frame that belongs in 2010.

The worldstar was a fabulous bike. Only the fork was a little flexy but so smooth. Finish was second to none
