I hoped for less but it´s still a XL bike and the frame itself is not weightweenie-ish

With this build, my view on claimed weights of bikes drastically changed.
Still a very respectable weight for an XL bike!

The second statement - how so?

I like it better, in particular the front end, though not a fan of that seatpost design. But, like I said, I'm sure the Time is a great riding bike and that's what matters.

Bike looks to be titanium, yes?
Any idea of the vintage?

OK, thanks. I guessed titanium given the appearance of the rear triangle which looked like bare titanium. After reading the article in the link the rear triangle must be brushed Columbus XCr.
