I have just seen one in an expo a week ago and it looked amazing. Top quality stuff and nice design. Nicer than in the studio photos.

Which version did you get, with the aktiv fork?....I like the concept of it...think 'suspension' on road bikes is the 'next big thing'

@ Cronulla - It's a Size Small = 53 top tube, and I am 5 foot 8, Weight with current set up is 14.54 lbs (6595 grms), 13.88 lbs (6295 grms) with my non deep dish wheels - could go lighter but..... will do that slowly.....

@ BCSS - This is not the Active fork version..... it added almost 1K to the price and from what i understand not in the USA yet.... not sure. I can always upgrade to that fork later......

@ Skippy - You should... i have ridden many top end bikes... this TIME is by far the best ride around and the workmanship is amazing. Even some custom bikes like Parlee fall short of TIME's care and detail

@ Rockbite, you say size small and top tube 53,according to TIME geo chart is it 54 and xs have 53. I am aboute same height and was thinking on a xs frame,maybe it will be to small. On what height is your saddle from bb,just to get an image on the size.

@Cronulla.... yeah sorry been short on time but will get it to you

@KGT.... is it obvious....I have longer legs and arms and a shorter body..I ride anywhere from a 52-54 for being 5.8-1/2. But it fits real nice. Last bike was a pinarello, with a 53.5 and that fit was good too. 51/52 just felt too small.....

It doesn't seem like a very aggressive, racing position but I hardly think it looks like its "obviously too big" for the rider with that setup.

you say you have longer legs and arms but your saddle to bar drop is minimal. I really cannot see how a smaller frame would not fit you better... You would have exactly the same contact points having your seat at a proper position (I am sure it is out of its carbon rail limits as it is) and using a longer stem (I guess yours is like 8-9cm)...
Again, I am sorry for commenting. Enjoy your fab bike!
