Bike Time NX
Bike weight 5.9kg
Finishing time 16min 26sec
‘The Time NX isn’t a crazy-light bike at its core but I managed to strip off over a kilo from the standard weight. I swapped in my 2005 Zipp 303 tubular wheels with a 22mm Conti podium tub on the rear and a 195g 19mm Tufo on the front. I fitted a pair of chopped-off bars, ditched the front mech and replaced the left lever with an old ten-speed one with no internal gear mechanism. The saddle is full carbon Selle Italia SLR, which was already light but I drilled some extra holes to remove another five grams.
