My experience with Time bicycles showed me that there's more to their bikes than just the materials. My 20yo Time is still the best-handling bike I've ever ridden. Maybe it's a geometry thing. Maybe there's something in the way they use the CF material. Talking with other Time riders with bikes newer than mine - and with enough experience to recognize subtle differences between high-end bikes - it's a pretty common feeling. My newer Storck is lighter, and is my #1 road bike right now, but its handling is a bit twitchy and nervous compared to my Time, which is quick, but very predictable and sure-footed when leaned over at speed.
