Finally, somebody who has a Time!!1!!
How do you compare the ride of the VXRS to the other bikes, particularly the Colnago?
My reading so far is that it's comparable in most ways, particluarly in stability on fast downhills, but I'd be very interested in your experience. What made you decide to get one, in the end?

But where's your Trek? Your Cannondale? Your Litespeed?
And yes, my favorite restaurant is McDonald's.

Just added tires, bar and pedals last night (
I have not ridden this Time or Fulcrum yet, I will post a review once I put some good miles on them. And I will post my De Rosa's pics after completing this project.
By the way, I do have a Cannondale, it's a 2003 Jekyll 1000. I always stick with US made bikes when it comes to mtb,

Oh, now that is beyond sweet!!!
I was eyeballing Time frames when I got back into cycling. For some reason, I decided on other options. Not even sure why anymore, because they look so dang good with those red Fulcrum wheels.

A man after my own heart!
Very cool collection of Record equipped bikes.Right now I'm down to one Record equipped Look since my other Look is up in San Jose for a warranty issue.
The Time VXR is on my short list for my 50th birthday bike (still vacillating on the 'S' seat tube). I've got a 2006 Record group sitting in my house wanting to be put on something nice. I am very interested to hear about how you like the ride compared to your other bikes. Do you race or do you just like high end bikes (either way is fine -- just wondering)?
Anyway, you can see some shots of my current stable on the link in my sig.
