TIME ADHX 45 : Uncovered
When it comes to manufacturing frames, few do it like TIME. They are the only manufacturer who weaves their carbon sock-style over a wax mold. While making for a more time-intensive process and more expensive process, those frames leave the factory as some of the most gorgeous, flawless frames you have ever seen. TIME is very proud if this, and understandably. They are known to have paint jobs that leave portions of the frame clear-coated without color, just to show it off. But rarely do you see a frame with no paint at all.
This is what makes this bike so special, no paint, branding, or anything on the frame makes this TIME ADHX 45 especially unique and lets you see the true craftsmanship in this frame. This frame is what we call an RTP, or read-to-paint. Meant to be ready to go for a custom paint job, but this customer decided to leave it completely raw. Built with SRAM Force D2 drivetrain, ENVE wheels, and cockpit, and fitted with 45mm tires, this bike is ready to tackle anything. Also equipped with a second set of Oquo road wheels and a 2x drivetrain, this bike can handle long road days without feeling too cumbersome, while still being able to handle rough terrain with just a wheelset swap. Without further adieu, the bike details are as follows.
