Finally I sold my RXRS frame, bought the new zxrs and passed on to it all off its components.

Result? 6,15kg of beauty:

- Sram Red 2012
- Lightweight Standard tubular (I also have Mavic RSYS clincher wheels for winter. With these on the weight is 6,3 kgs)
- Speedplay Ti Pedals
- Specialized swords toupe 143mm seat
- TRP 970 brakes
- Time handlebar
- Zipp stem (waiting for my time stem which is included with the frame)

Please re-size the first couple of pics mate, the Mars Lander doesn't need to be able to see them


Otherwise, like it! Great weight too!

Amazing machine. Well done!

Great bike! Not a fan of the size difference between the stem and spacers

Very nice bike.

But is the frame size big enough? The position suggests that you have long legs and a short spine, but the saddle - bar drop is quite large, so have you tried trading a few cm of bar drop for a few cm in length? Obviously this is internet armchair analysis, so feel free to ignore as what works best for you is key.

I am 176 cms high with long legs for my size. Frame is S, which in Time is a 53,5

I also want a Time! So impressive frame

I agree with mrfish. I am slightly taller than you and i also ride a small Time.
Have you been properly fitted?
Looks like a great bike.

VERY nice bicycle! Is that the black label colorway? Seems like the decals are toned down from the RXRS in comparison...

Any words on ride difference between ZXRS and RXRS? I love my RXRS and not looking to change any time soon, but I am curious... Some people said the front end was stiffer, but I'm a smaller rider on an XS size so don't notice that myself.

That's the best bike Iv'e seen in a long time, absolutely love it!

The Mavics really enhance the frames aesthetics. Much better than the Lightweights. Lovely machine in a price-range I'm never getting when bike-shopping.

Would love to hear you opinion comparing the two.
