Inspired by a Legend of Road Cycling
Alpe d’Huez is more than a famous Tour de France ascent. It represents history, passion, and extraordinary physical effort, surrounded by some of the most passionate crowds in cycling. TIME has translated this legacy directly into the Alpe d’Huez frameset, creating a bike that reflects the spectacle and beauty of elite road racing.
Riding the TIME Alpe d’Huez Brilliant Pink delivers a road cycling experience defined by responsiveness, elegance, and character that cannot be duplicated by any other frameset.
Advanced Braided Carbon Structure with Hybrid Reinforcement
The Alpe d’Huez Brilliant Pink frameset features TIME’s most advanced Braided Carbon Structure (BCS) hybrid layup. Building on the proven ADH 01 platform, TIME increased the proportion of Toray M40J carbon fibre, known for its exceptional stiffness‑to‑weight ratio.
The structure is further enhanced with Vectran®, which improves vibration damping and long‑term durability, and Dyneema®, one of the world’s strongest fibres, added for increased impact resistance and strength. This advanced blend results in a frame that is lighter, stronger, and more resilient, while preserving TIME’s renowned ride quality.
Ultimate Lightweight Performance for Climbers
This refined carbon construction makes the Alpe d’Huez a standout climbing frameset. Power transfer is immediate and efficient, allowing riders to accelerate effortlessly on steep gradients and maintain speed on long ascents.
Despite its lightweight focus, the frameset maintains confident handling and stability, providing precise control on fast descents and technical road sections common across Queensland road riding routes.
Disc‑Brake Ready for Modern Road Builds
Designed for modern disc‑brake road groupsets, the Alpe d’Huez Brilliant Pink offers reliable braking performance and compatibility with contemporary electronic and mechanical drivetrains. This makes the frameset well suited to Brisbane cycling conditions, from dry summer rides to wet winter descents.
It is an ideal platform for a bespoke lightweight road bike built, fitted, and maintained by experienced Brisbane bicycle mechanics.
Ready‑to‑Paint Option for Bespoke Finishes
TIME framesets are also available in a Ready to Paint configuration. Supplied fully prepped and sanded with all required hardware, this option allows riders to create a completely personalised finish using their preferred paint specialist or recommendations from professional bike shops.
The Ready‑to‑Paint option makes the Alpe d’Huez a favourite among cyclists seeking a one‑of‑a‑kind custom road bike.
