Timemachine 01 ROAD MOD

It's a balanced setup rather than a pure speed machine. For road-style bikes, the score is a proxy for how fast the build feels on normal pavement. The setup that matters most here is a baseline tire-width assumption, aerodynamics that likely help it hold speed once you're rolling, and a basic drivetrain spec that prioritizes practicality over outright performance.

If your rides include hills, it rates 1.8/10 for climbing. Within Road bikes, it ranks near the bottom. The easiest gear is on the tall side for proper hills. In numbers, the low gear is roughly 32.4 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~18% of them. Think of “gear inches” like a difficulty score for your easiest gear: lower = more spin-friendly on climbs. Expect more grinding on climbs than easy spinning. Build kits can differ by size and spec level, and not every detail is published by every brand, so use this as a practical guideline.

Looking at it as a triathlon setup, scoring 9.9/10 on aero, drag reduction is a headline goal and it’s meant to pay you back at high speed. What that means on the road is: it’s strongly speed-focused, designed to reduce wind drag when you’re riding fast. A lower front end can help you tuck in a bit, even if the bike itself isn’t built as an aero specialist. A tidier cockpit and cable routing can help a little once you’re riding quickly. The faster you ride, the more this aero focus tends to show up in how it holds speed.

Balanced fit - a versatile position for long rides and faster efforts. It feels this way because there's about 102 mm of drop to the bars (large), with roughly 577 mm of forward stretch to the bar (long). Estimated lean is about 39 degrees.

So it ends up in Limited Adjustment. Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: With a one-piece cockpit, the bike is more fixed in its stock position, Cable routing is on the simpler side, which helps adjustability; Notable system naming mentioned: ICS. In practice, it is about how easy fit changes are with normal parts and service work.

Comfort comes out to 2.9/10, which usually translates to a more responsive than cushy ride. That’s the reason it lands as Firm. The posture is race-leaning (posture 7/10, torso ~39°), which puts more weight forward, so you notice more feedback through the hands and saddle.

This doesn’t look like the best deal once you compare it to similar builds. The value score is 1–10. Higher means better value for money; lower means the price is high for what you get. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). Based on the spec estimate, it’s about 19% above the typical level for similar builds. Among comparable bikes, it sits around the middle on price (cheaper than about 46% of listings). Quick reference: €4.699 listed versus about €3.951 for a comparable build. Not every spec detail is consistently published, so think of this as a strong hint rather than the last word. Put simply: it’s a bit pricey for what you get.

This bike is built for smooth pavement and fast road riding. Tire size details aren’t available here, so the label follows the overall setup and category cues. Wheel choice (700c) fits the kind of surfaces this bike targets.
