I've been really spoiled having the oppurtunity to ride on a Time - it's a great frame, I get home in anticipation to bust out on a ride regardless of the weather.

I really wanted to get some "dancing shoes" [LowCel - it's your fault ] because I've really loved the look of deep dish carbons on any race bike - it just fits... I really wanted Carbones but the price was still too steep, so one day I was just browsing the used section in CanadianCyclist to find someone selling Bonty X Lite Carbons for a really great deal. 850 CAD later - I've got these with Conti Competitions, an Ultegra cassette and yellow Swisstop brakes. Amazing deal.

These are my first set of tubular wheels - I do notice a difference in high speed cornering and just raw weight - I think my bike dropped ~ 1lb. Lighter wheels really are easier to spin up. Other than that - it's an upgrade for sure from my WH550's. I'm a happy camper... so far, 200 miles in - they've been bulletproof over bumps and holes...
Only caveat is that the front Conti has tan sidewall OCP penalty right there - I know, Patriot... I know.. sorry

I'll be using these as everyday training wheels - and for next season if they're still true and solid - I'll just slap on some new tubulars and re-grease the hubs for some racin'

I think the Bonty color scheme matches the Time...





Hope you enjoy the pics!
