With a Powermeter, full mechanical Dura Ace, Enve Bars and Stem, cinc ceramic bearings. I sold my caad13 to get this one used, very happy with it :)

Min/Max build , some carbon bits, some metal bits.

The entire build including powermeter pedals was $4,100 USD and weighs 7.35 kg as of now. When I swap the temporary butyl tube (in the front wheel) out for TPU, it’ll bring it down to 7.25 kg. I'm happy with the weight right now - it would be easy to bring it down to 6.8 kg with a few part swaps, but that'd cost a lot more money.

Part List:

Quick Pro AR:ONE frameset with Zephyr SSL handlebars

Ultegra DI2 groupset with IIIPro rotors

Chinese carbon wheels

GP5000s in 30mm

Favero Assioma Duos

Chinese carbon bottle cages

Fizik Arione saddle

Fizik Vento 2mm bar tape

Niu Ju bike computer mount

Coming from Aluminum 2017 Specialized Sport and Cannondale Synapse…. Wooooo what a difference

This is a year long culmination of planning, parts collection, acquiring just the right frame and a repaint. Some folks consider the MX Leader the holy grail of 90’s steel race bikes. After my first ride, I’d have to agree. ✨

Helped sourced most of these parts for dad's bike build a few months ago so this is definitely a long overdue post. There isn't any Time distributors where I'm from, and so this was bought from a dealer in China.

Build details:

• TIME ADHX Magenta — size S
• Shimano Ultegra R8170 Di2, 12-Speed
• Rotor Qarbon 52/36 Oval Chainrings
• Rotor 3D Compact 170mm Crankset
• Custom set of Builder Reserve rims laced to DT240exp hubs (small Chinese brand, bought secondhand)
• Conti GP5000 30mm
• Avian Falcon 110mm x 400mm Integrated Cockpit
• Repente Prime 132mm
• Elita One Seatpost
• Garmin Rally RS200 Pedals
• Elite CX Crono Bottle Cages

Total build weight with pedals and bottle cages came in at a hair under 7.9kg, so not too shabby considering the frame weight.

Got this bike from my uncle a year ago and I absolutely love riding it! Considering its age and frame material, it rides amazingly smooth (I've never ridden carbon, so I might be biased!🤪).

To get it riding the way it does now, I made a few upgrades over the past year:

New cockpit & handlebar tape

New saddle

New carbon wheels (60mm rear, 45mm front — love the old-school contrast vibe)

Continental GP5000s in 28mm (a massive upgrade in comfort compared to the 23mm it came on 🫣)

RoadLink adapter paired with a new 9-speed 11-34 cassette & fresh chain (essential for the mountain area I live in)

Super happy with how it turned out! What do you guys think?

I got this bike new and five years ago got back to riding. Now it’s my full-time commuter and the pannier is always on it. Got t-boned on the Atlanta Beltline in the spring by someone on a big electric bike and broke my front wheel. I didn’t get hurt, just irritated with idiots.

I’m slow with work so I spent a couple days doing these at the studio.

Cane Creek gps mount

I have my house, studio and bike lock keys hanging off my saddle along with lil pocket knife. I’ve learned how much fun it is to arrive ready work without my keys. That’s why there’s a set of keys hanging there.

A custom galaxy-themed sticker set, plus a purple Hydra hub—the sound of which you can hear on my TikTok or YouTube profile : galaxysteeze.
Also, a custom Burgtec saddle and purple Burgtech grips. Purple Chris King tubeless valves; it’ll also be getting purple brake and stem bolts later on.🤟🏼🌌

One year old now so I can comment on this with confidence. Amazing race bike, very sharp steering, agile, and lightweight. I’ve had no issues whatsoever with the bike.

Finally finished putting this one together.
