"Time" TT Bike
Quote | Reply
So what do you do when your bike sponsor doesn't make a TT bike? You go and buy a bunch of Speed Concepts and repaint them :)

Article is in French but the pictures say it all :)

I know this is pretty common with components but I can't recall seeing it done with frames.

Actually didn't Trek do this once? I seem to recall Lance riding a Lightspeed bike rebranded as a Trek.

Was it time or look that had a P3 rebranded ( the famous how exactly do you get this wheel out of the frame incident). i'm pretty surprised that Time doesn't have a TT bike.

back in the 2001 tour CSC was sponsored by LOOK but team captain laurent jalabert rolled a rebadged P3 for the TT stages.

Jaja was still riding for ONCE in 99 and CSC wasn't even around yet. I think he rode the rebadged P3 in 2001.

Odd, Time did make a pretty neat looking UCI-complaint frame set a few years back- I always like the aesthetics of it- who knows how it tested?

i think Time may still make there TT bike not totally sure. what i do know is that there TT bikes we all custom order/ made for a rider and cost something like $13k, so may be there reson behind dropping it as how do you generate enough sales when its totally custom. the frame was also developed around the same time as the TTX for mick rodgers when he was at Quick Step.
