The TIME ZXRS from 2014/15 was the predecessor to the Skylon now know as the Scylon (due to trademarking issues IIRC). TIME bikes are simply wonderful, beautifully made bikes. I have been fortunate to have a variety of top tier bikes but there is something special about the ZXRS. It probably qualifies as semi-aero like the Scylon. Ignore the naysayers and get the ISP version. The TIME seatpin allows for 3cm of adjustment so in no way makes fitting or gear changes an issue. If you can find the French edition at a discounted price grab it, its gorgeous! Good luck with the hunt!!

you should check out the 2020 Scott Addict RC--it's a lightweight climbing bike with aero updates, including totally invisible cables. I have a Scott Foil and it's pretty amazing. both of these are disc brakes if that matters.

Thanks. I've already got my TCR as my climbing bike

Anyone looking to sell a Time Skylon, large? Needle in a haystack.

There are only a few US based TIME dealers. Contender may have what you need? There are also the TIME frames that were made for Lemond. There were a few TIMEs and Lemonds at River City Cycles last time I checked.

Good luck!

Trek Madone- iso coupler softens up the ride.

Any decisions yet? I too am looking for an aero framed bike but am willing to try Shimano if necessary. Venge was too uncomfortable for me. Bianchi is beautiful, fast and smooth. Geo might not be right for me. I am considering a Madone. I would love to hear what you decided.

Being in the middle of a venge vias tune up...

Be careful about any bike that has proprietary rim brakes...as they can be a real PITA to maintain. UGH!

Try a madone, rides really well go for sram gears and disks .
