Hello all

Looking to identify this frame. My Google has failed me. If anyone can help me identify it and any specs that would be great.

Hmmmm...that's an odd one. I don't recall Time making non-carbon frames, or cyclocross frames. I'm probably wrong, but it strikes me as a frame that a Time-sponsored rider might have used when racing CX.

I am still trying to figure out the construction. The frame looks like it has carbon weave but the joints look like they are welded.

Look closely. The “weave” is a painted pattern of small circles. It looks to me like a welded aluminum frame.

EDIT: The aggressive geometry and lack of bottle cage bosses tells me this was built with the intent of CX racing.

Check the geometry and then compare it to a Ridley cx bike. 4Za is Ridley's house brand, they make more cross bike than time, and those decals are pretty amateurish. I would be very surprised, aside from it being an alloy frame, that anyone at Time (or Ridley) would let that design and quality of paint go out the door.
I had a Ridley Arena track bike and that tubing looks really familiar.

It looks like a carbon patterned sticker over the aluminum frame. Very odd.

I'm trying to find the frame now with Ridley one that has the little round bit for the derailleur on the seat tube.

Looks to me like someone spray painted "Time" over that frame.

The rear dropouts look pretty distinctive, and are probably the biggest clue for who actually built the frame. I'm guessing this was 1995-2005.

This is so much more interesting than the typical frame ID thread.

It looks like a Ridley X-Night possibly? The dropouts look like a picture of a 03-04 I have seen but the 4ZA fork looks like it is a new model so unsure exactly what year.

Yes and I have been searching for those, but man, it's hard lol.

Glad I could help

But i bought it, was cheap enough, so I will post pictures once I get it.
Still want to figure out what it is

The dropouts look like this

Just received it. Here is a serial number if anyone recognises it.

That looks like a very close relative to the frame you have. There is a slight difference in the head tube shaping, and the cable routing is different, but it looks to me like the "Time" frame was probably built by Ridley.

I found it!! Ridley crosswind.

VERY close. The "Time" doesn't have bottle bosses.

Yeah that's the thing....but at least it's almost there to figuring this out.

Well Ridley said it's a crosswind, but they cannot find the serial number in their database.
