Time bikes
Whom of you ride a Time bike, like Fluidity, ZXRS or similar?
They are not represented where i live. I was close buying a frame module, at times i wish i jumped the boat.

Seems as Time is not as usual these days!?
If so, there is little written about them latest years.
Anyone here riding one of these machines?
From what i've got they are lovely to ride?

To the OP, Time is a French manufacturer of bicycling products that has been around since the mid 1980s

In this case, the correct word is Who, not Whom.
The pronoun whom is used as an indirect object, this is easiest to remember with the addition "to or for" [whom]. In the context of your sentence 'who' is the one riding the bike, which means it is the subject.
I would recommend always using the pronoun who if you don't understand the difference between who and whom because it is less likely you will need to use the word whom in general. This means you will be wrong less often.
"The more you know"

P.S: This was not the only grammar mistake, but the one I felt needed attention.

I feel like a personal message would have been more appropriate.
To OP, Time are very nice bikes. If you're thinking about getting one you will not be disappointed.

First Pinarello, now Time. What are you looking for in a top shelf bike, other than top shelfness?

Avispa, one of my bikes is a Time RXRS and it is my favorite road bike. Looks great but more importantly rides great. Maybe it is a bit more expensive than some other brands, but it has been my favorite bicycle. I am thinking of buying a used Time VX/VXR as an additional bicycle just because I've enjoyed the ride of my RXRS so much. They are also very beautifully made frames, I think on par with the aesthetics of the Colanago C50/C59.
If I were going to buy a new bike again soon, a Time ZXRS would definitely be among the top of my choices.

This ^^^^^. As my grandfather used to say, correcting another person's pronunciation or grammar in public is very poor form indeed.
To give an example, I could point out the comma splice in MikeyBoyAZ's sentence "The pronoun whom is used as an indirect object, this is easiest to remember with the addition "to or for" [whom]." I wouldn't think of doing so, but for the fact that he who committed this elementary error had taken it upon himself to correct a relatively trivial error in another poster's message.

there was a BF member (I forgot exactly who) who went to a carbon bike show. He saw a Time representative compare different carbon frames by putting a hammer to them. The time one was much harder to destroy compare to cannondale.

I once tried the same test on inflatable sheep, but those things can really take a pounding.

I thought that Will Not Get Fooled Again was by Bush.
