The Time Bicycles Thread -- Time Frames, Bikes, & Hardware Components After Sale To Cardinal Cycling Group

The leaked photos are just that... photos. It doesn't mention anything about the tech, fibers, paint, etc. Let's wait for the official announcement / marketing material before jumping to conclusions. As for the head tube, the Orbea Ordu and Factor Hanzo are TT bikes, right? How can you even make that comparison when this obvioulsy isn't an aero road bike?!

Weak launch colors

[MDecius]

I know it sounds kind of pedantic, but I’m disappointed their new launch uses the seat cluster from the ADH21, not the 01. The 01 clamp looks so much better, and the attachment for the seat stays looks much more smoothly blended into the top tube.

I’ll be looking hard for a 2022 model ADH01 if there’s still any out there. If any of you find one in the EU please send me a PM.

That magenta is venomous.
Did you consider it might be the 21 model and not 01, therefore the 21 cluster?
Kinda bummer about the colours. The ADHX colours are fantastic and I don't really fancy these. Probably for the better I suppose. Especially for the wallet.

Electronic and disc only it seems.

We still do not know if the model in the pictures will be the new ADH01 or ADH21...

Other option, maybe they decided to reduce the range to one ADH model only and the new scylon will be more versatile and will replace both ADH01 and the old scylon as their top offering.

Let's wait for more info!

I own an ADH01 and I have zero issues with it. I also own an ADHX. Even though the ADH01 system works for me, I can see how it wouldn't work for eveyrone. Using the ADHX/ADH21 system gives everyone more seatpost options: setback, length, carbon vs. alloy rails (round, 7x9mm, 7x10mm), etc. Just my 2 cents.

[RDY]

Not really sure what you guys were expecting. ADHX is essentially an updated iteration of the ADH with slightly wider clearance and integrated cabling. It follows that the ADH would follow a similar route (it looks like it'll probably fit 32-34mm tires this time round). To me it's more a dissappointment that the ADHX is basically an all-road rather than gravel bike, than the ADH being an iterative update.

I really do hope that they've pushed the boat out a bit with the Scylon replacement though. That design is as old as the hills now.

Yes you are right, I didn’t think of that. My understanding was that they’d have only one top end model, and this was it.

Can one order semi-custom from Time? What if one wanted an ADHX without the top tube mounts? Or what if one wanted the new ADH (more tire clearance?) with the Cobalt ADHX paint job? Would they accomodate.

For a while, I saw they were selling "ready to paint" frames but I don't see them on their web site now.

I tried everything I could to get the blue-red-white braided one. Endless email threads (I'm French speaking so that helped) with there salesperson at different level... that was a dead end. It was right before they got bought out though, so who knows if things have changed now. I'd love to know if you manage to get more info

Don't you think the ADH is already as classy as those iconic cars from the 90's? With that I certainly don't need a new design. I will buy it if I'm in the market right now. It stands out in the sea of me-too dropped stay/drag reduction designs. Please keep the rim brake (at least the 21) without the full internal routing...

They will keep the rim brake model with semi-external routing, as others have reported in this thread. I’ve also had that confirmed by a Time dealer which is great news.

And I agree, it’s a classic design. The carbon manufacturing and craftsmanship are just at another level as well.
