Time RXR -- A handmade, hand-built carbon dream bike

We here at Studio Velo really admire what Time does in their advanced carbon-fiber production facility in France. There are few bike manufactures left in the world who do not produce their bikes in Asia (even if they say it is, ie, 'Made in Italy' which means painted in Italy and made offshore sometimes). Time takes great pride in manufacturing their frames with 100% quality control throughout the production process.

Our enthusiasm for their bikes is not only shared by us. Check out the latest article and a full range of photos from Time's factory at VeloNews.com: http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/01/bikes-tech/2010-velonews-tech-gear-galleries_102668?album=7&gallery=81

The above photo is the latest Time RXR frame being built up here at Studio Velo. Our latest build is for a good client from Antioch. Chris came to us last year for a Retul bike fitting and has been saving up for his dream bike ever since. Chris chose to build his RXR with the following dream parts:

-2010 Campy Super Record all the way around
-Fulcrum R0 Tubeless wheels
-Hutchinson Tubeless tires
-Time full carbon bar (this handlebar alone deserves a full review)
-Fizik white bar tape to match and saddle is TBD per fitting

This is quite a rig. Estimated weight is well under 14lbs and boy we didn't need to put any ultra light parts on the frame to get there. The ride quality is unmatched. And when you build a bike from the frame up, you can guarantee that it will fit and ride like a dream.

Enjoy the pictures or come by to check out the pimp new RXR before Chris comes to grab it this weekend!
