When a bicycle company that prides itself on perfecting road bikes produces a gravel bike out of the blue, we should pause for a second and take stock of the situation. This new gravel stallion - the TIME Alpe D’Huez X - is essentially an Alpe D’Huez road bike with clearance for 700 x 38c tires, a more relaxed headtube angle, and an elongated chainstay. These seemingly minor alterations will give an enhanced sense of stability and control when descending without detracting from the…

With a name like Alpe d’Huez, this is a bike that will give you the idea that it is made for the big mountains. And since the Alpe d’Huez 01 is the lightest frame we have ever made, you wouldn’t be disappointed. What will really surprise you is just how comfortable it is for an all-day ride. That is thanks in large part to the inclusion of the TIME Aktiv Fork with this frame. TIME has developed the Aktiv fork with the intention of reducing road vibrations by 30% compared to a standard carbon…

As you can see from this guys videos if you have enough money you can collect an insane amount of machine tools. But for a low budget and low production shop there is no reason not to keep it simple. And for a single bike you must build with as few tools as possible. I used hand files to get the tubes close enough for welding and brazing. That is why I advocate using a rear end built with rectangular tubes and flat bar. The only way to compete with a factory in China is to make something…

The OPEN MIND frame at its core is a high-performance road bike that uses efficient tube shaping that prioritizes high strength, power transfer, and ride quality. But after that, there are some more interesting pieces. A 25mm integrated seattube offers impressive adjustability for multiple riders alongside proper seattube flex for superior seated riding comfort.
