Time Alpe d'huez 2023

Beautiful bike. Would love to hear more experiences and comparisons of these, ADH21, and ADHX.

Any updates/ride reports from folks on these bikes?

Would love to hear an update as well.

Spoke to the Time sales rep on the phone a month or so ago as I was interested in the 2022 ADH. He said that compared to the 2023 ADH, the 2022 version, and I quote, "rides like a brick". I was surprised as I always assumed that the 2022 version has this "nice" and comfortable ride quality that is unlike the"dead" feeling mostly ascribed to carbon bikes made by your Trek-Spesh-Cann-Giant etc.

Would love to gets a review from someone who owns 2023 or 2022 ADH.

Thank you!

The 2023 ADH is a nice riding bike. Like all things in life, it depends on what is important to you. For me, weight matters and over 1kg for a frame in size small is heavy. My gravel frame is lighter and more aero.

I'm 100% not a fan of PF BB's. I had to loctite in a one-piece BBRIGHT to make it quiet.

I am a very picky mechanical engineer. Details matter. Is the ADH better than a SL8? For me the answer is no. Do I like the pink paint? I do. Do I like the way it rides? I do. Did I ride it in the Hincapie Fondo with 8k ft of climbing? I did not.

Mine will probably be for sale soon. It's a great bike, just not for me.

been riding mine a good amount, and frankly really enjoying it!

the ride quality is wonderful, and compared to my Melee- has much more personality.

Is it the lightest? no.
Is it the most aero and the most stiff? most certainly not.

But for me, it's wonderful. It's a joy to ride and a wonderful companion when I'm flaneur-ing on KC roads.

when I want to ride fast.. I just pick my Melee instead!
