I ordered this a few months ago and got a fantastic deal from Wrench Science. Their support was incredible—they helped with sizing, part selection, and even got me Berd Sparrow rims! I had the bike shipped to my local shop for fitting, and I finally brought it home yesterday.
I’ve been riding a full-suspension mountain bike (bought used) for the past year, but 99% of my riding is more aligned with gravel riding. My Hightower 2 was just too much bike for the dirt tracks, paths, and occasional roads I typically ride. While I originally got it for adventure racing, my training and real-world needs made me switch to something more practical.
Here are the specs:
– **Frame and Color:** Time ADHX 45, Dune
– **Size:** 57cm CT Sloping L
– **Build Kit:** SRAM Red eTap AXS (1×12) Wide
– **Brake Shift:** SRAM Red AXS E1
– **Crank:** SRAM Red 1 AXS
– **Bottom Bracket:** SRAM DUB Road
– **Cassette:** SRAM XG-1299 Eagle 10-50 Gold
– **Rear Derailleur:** SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS
– **Chain:** SRAM XX1 Eagle Gold
– **Wheelset:** Berd Sparrow
– **Tires:** Maxxis Rambler EXO 45
– **Brakes:** SRAM Centerline XR 160mm
– **Stem:** Deda Elementi Superbox, 110 mm
– **Handlebar:** Zipp SL-70 Ergo, 42 mm, carbon
– **Handlebar Tape:** Fizik Vento Microtex Tacky Touch 2mm
– **Seatpost:** Zipp SL SPEED, 400 mm, carbon
– **Pedals:** Favero Assioma PRO MX-2
– **Saddle:** Selle Italia NOVUS Boost EVO TI 316 Superflow L, 145 mm
– **Weight:** 17.82 lbs / 8.08 kg
I’m so excited to take it out!

Damn. It’s not until a watched the Maptec cycling YouTube channel where I realised that Time and Look bikes are like artisan level handcraft pieces.

Most beautiful carbon frame on the market, probably the best as well. Enjoy!

My dream bike!
I have a TIME I bought new back in 2009 and I treasure that thing. I’ll never part with it.
Enjoy the ride!
