Hi riders! I'm deciding on this particular bike too. Could you tell me what size frame you ordered, and what exactly is the standover height from the ground to the top of the centre of the top tube? I know I've already asked TimCruz through your YouTube comments. Just trying to decide whether to get XS or S. Thanks in advance!

This is probably my favorite gravel bike on the market. Racy geometry, top quality with no ******** and understated good looks. A friend has a Time road bike with the exposed weave, that finish is glorious. I would very slightly prefer a threaded BB but honetly Time's BB386 is probably the best press fit setup on the market. That's not a deal killer. Also, the pricing is a bit high. Other than that, this is ideal.

I absolutely love the way this bike rides. I've ridden several dozen road bikes in my day, and I can easily say that this just feels planted and well-sorted. And the quality of the construction seems light years ahead of anything else on the market.

I have to admit I am somewhat haunted by an ADHX frame set up can’t settle on the color.

That is generally true, but not a primary concern (at least for me) when riding gravel.
That said, the ADHX has a very short wheelbase and does not have a dropped right chain stay, so it has fairly similar geometry to the Fluidity that this thread had led me to.

Went Look instead since what I really wanted was an endurance setup that I could build up my way.
765 Optimum in beautiful Satin Black.
Still think the Time is a beautiful bike, maybe some day.

Its coming along, saddle, stem and spacers are place keepers until the right ones get here. Schwalbe pro ones were a witch to mount.

Update... the 700x30 tires feel good but I feel like I need to go a bit bigger. Just don't want to lose the speed on pavement... Decisions, decisions.

Figure out what works best for the majority of your riding, and what compromises you can live with for the rest.
