Anyone with a size M Alpe d'Huez know/could measure the c-t length of the seat tube? The geometry doesn't show.

Thanks for your help. I mean from the centre of BB to the end of the seat tube where the seatpost inserts (highlighted in the red box in the pic). Is that how you measure it at 52cm?

Just checking with the group but anyone else had one of those ti bolts snap? I bust one today (bikes a year old) but obviously not a quick fix and going to be a warranty claim:-(

^ is so, no problem after 2 years. Always using torque wrench as those look a little bit fragile for over torque.

Looking at the geo charts but I see a dip in the top tube where the stem is mounted.

Can anyone confirm that the stack height in the chart starts at the top of the headset cap or if it is a across the top of the top tube so +5 or +3mm?

Time Alpe d huez 01, I have a problem with the titanium bolt (screw)that goes in the frame that holds the seat clamp, it was released from the frame and is loose, it is glued or has a metal insert, how is it fixed to the frame??

I believe bonded in during the layup process. Over torqued?

Well no over torqued because in the frame instructions say it's 6nm and I have a 5nm tool , so I guess is a factory defect
I don't want glue in my frame

Glue will not hold either, not the typical super glue anyway!

Does anyone know what the maximum extension of this Time seatpost is?
I'm between sizes and am concerned the seastpost might be quite short.
Thanks
