The 2011 Tour de France stages:
Note: "Module Plus" includes matching VIP handlebar, fork, headset, seatmast, stem, and bottle cage.In this "VIP" edition of the RXR Ulteam frame, Time has made an elegant statement on what a beautiful bike can achieve. Finished in gloss black, all logos have a dark blue sheen that shows a subtle glimmer in the sunlight. With this clearcoat finish, you also save 40 grams over the painted version!
Drawing inspiration from the World Championship-winning RXR Chrono, the RXR Ulteam road bike is their stiffest, most efficient race bike to date. Each tube has been optimized for performance and aerodynamics resulting in a SCx (product of frontal surface by air penetration coefficient) among the most favorable in the industry.
This frame is the result of the best, most cutting-edge carbon manufacturing techniques of the cycling world. This machine has been optimized down to the smallest details; Time employs their special in-house carbon design and manufacturing in constructing even the smallest parts out of their own carbon weave: bottom bracket shell, one-piece fork, fork dropouts, stem with CMT insert, and even bottle cage bolts are all produced by Time's factories in Europe.
The RXR Ulteam uses the new Safe+2 fork with multi diameter steerer guaranteeing strength, light weight and stability with exceptional steering precision. The Time patented multi diameter steerer, with Time's specific oversize lower bearing guarantees total security with outstanding resistance to shock.
The RXR Ulteam uses a new optimized "Translink" aerodynamic shape seat tube with 3 cm of saddle height adjustment. This design not only increases lateral stiffness, but is also 35 grams lighter than the traditional seatpost. The RXR Ulteam also offers 2 front derailleur height options for compatibility to the broadest gearing ranges.
RXR Ulteam Features:
The RXR Ulteam is available in two configurations: Module, and Module+. For riders interested in the matching TIME handlebar, upgrading to Module+saves 20% on price.
"Module"Includes frame, fork, headset, seatpost, Monolink carbon stem, and Time carbon bottle cage.
"Module+" Includes frame, fork, headset, seatpost, Monolink carbon stem, Time carbon bottle cage, and Time Ergoforce Monobloc handlebars.
Di Luca was banned after testing positive for EPO-Cera after finishing second in the 2009 Giro d'Italia.
However, his collaboration with investigators probing doping in cycling has led to a reduction in his sentence that was initially set to run until July 2011.
Di Luca said he had spoken to the prosecutor in Padua "to explain the methodologies that I've seen".
The 34-year-old, who won Liège–Bastogne–Liège and the Giro in 2007, is cleared to race immediately and has been linked with a move to Geox who will take over sponsorship of ProTour team Footon-Servetto in 2011.
Thieves broke into the gallery where Hotlines have been holding their London show and stole thousands of pounds worth of bikes early this morning.
They took a prototype Nuke Proof downhill bike (more on this later today), top-end Lapierre mountain bikes including the new DH Team, a Ghost SE 5000 hardtail and Lynskey Helix titanium road frame.
The bikes were taken at around 3.30am from the Dray Walk Gallery, just off Brick Lane. They're easily recognised – see below for details – and Hotlines are offering a reward for information leading to their retrieval.
The 575 has been making rough trails smoother for the last five years and has been the most successful bike in the history of Yeti. Why? Well, there are a number of reasons: it is light, has loads of travel (5.75”), is efficient and descends well. But most importantly, it rules on rough terrain.
