TIME Alpe D'Huez Ready To Paint (RTP) Road Frameset
The Evolution of Alpe d'Huez
Alpe d'Huez is more than a climb in Le Tour. Helicopters, police escorts, blue smoke, screaming face-painters, and a crowd of 300,000 cycling fans guarantee that every visit to this legendary summit will be crowned forever in glory. It's this unmistakable marriage of history, spectacle, colossal effort, sportsmanship, and beauty that is woven into every Alpe d'Huez frame we make. To ride the new TIME Alpe d'Huez disc is to enjoy something that eludes description that can't be duplicated by any other bike. This is the Ultimate Road Bike.
We took the Vectranenhanced structure of the ADH 01 and increased the amount of light and stiff Toray M40J, and added Dyneema, the World's Strongest Fiber, to create our most advanced BCS hybrid blend ever.
Ready to Paint
Time framesets can be purchased Ready to Paint in a prepped and sanded condition and with all hardware. Choose your own paint shop or ask us for a suggestion to create the TIME of your dreams.
Features
DEDA DCR
The included DEDA S-DCR headset is compatible with standard stems and handlebars for semi-integrated setup or add a full DCR headset cover/stem/bar available from DEDA to finish your TIME with fully-integrated cables and brake hoses.
1X DERAILLEUR COVER
With the included TIME Derailleur Mount Cover, your 1X setup will look as slick and finished as the rest of your bike. Full compatibility with single and double–ring drivetrains doesn’t mean making a visual compromise.
FORGED CARBON
With 20x the fatigue life of steel or alloy, TIME use forged carbon where others spec heavier aluminum parts. A 60% fiber content allows drilling and threading without cracking, processes that are much more challenging with prepreg construction.
TECHNOLOGY
MAXIMUM STRENGTH
Bio-Based Dyneema® is Lighter, Stronger and Smarter. Because TIME weave their own braided carbon structures (BCS), they have been able to add a hybrid Carbon/Bio-Based Dyneema® layer that increases strength in the structure without compromising stiffness or weight.
SUBLIME RIDE FEEL
Braided Carbon Structure is the weaving of dry fibers into complex bi-directional ‘socks.’ These tubes of fiber are easy to tune with different materials. BCS also allows something that is unheard of in the cycling world; continuous fibers that run the full length of a structure.
PREMIUM QUALITY
Resin Transfer Moulding is the best way to mould carbon. By laying up dry fibers and then injecting resin at high pressure between rigid external & internal moulds, air pockets and voids are eliminated. Unlike prepreg air bag moulding, RTM quality is uniform and consistent.
