Double TIME

From day one, we have always built the bikes that head out our door one at a time. A great amount of time goes into each bike we build, from the initial client interview to the final touches on the build, we take great pride in building each bike to fit each rider. It's great fun for us to get to know our clients so well this way, and it's even more fun escorting them on their first ride and finding out exactly how much they enjoy their new bike.

We recently had the pleasure of building two of our favorite bikes (the new RXR from TIME) for 2 new clients. Larry and Angelic found their way to our shop in their search for their perfect bikes. They had been to many shops along the way, and spent many ours researching the great number of options available to them. So when they came to us, they had done their homework.

As two very discerning individuals, they had many requirements. Atop their list of requirements were great ride quality, great fit and great craftsmanship, with attention to detail. We took the time to explain many offerings and options to them, but we kept coming back to the RXR from TIME. After spending time with our size cycle, we determined the geometry would work for both of them, so we began planning the build.

The lure of Campy captured both Angelic and Larry, and the idea of pairing European made components with a European made bike soon became the plan. We chose bars, stems and saddles to accommodate their fit needs and moved on to wheel selection. After sending them out with some of our 2 way Fit wheels from Campagnolo and Fulcrum, the decision became quite clear. Angelique and Larry will be riding on the new 2010 Campagnolo Shamal Ultras as soon as the first shipment hits the US. Until then, they will be covering ground on a few sets of our personal loaners wheels.

Happy Pedaling Larry and Angelic!
