Strengths: confortable, light, responsiveWeaknesses: a little pricey if brought new and i supose that this doesn't matter too much but no aero cutout for the rear wheelBottom Line: i brought this package off an insurance company for $2190 NZD with Dura-ace 7900 because it had been on the roof of a car while being driven into a garage. the fork and bars were replaced with cannonade one's. Ive been riding this bike for just under 7 months in club and national races with American Classic CR-420 wheels and this bike has been the best all-round bike i have ever ridden. it is very responsive and smooth.

Strengths: Quick response and smooth ride.Weaknesses: A bit loose on high-speed decents.Bottom Line: BEWARE!! I purchased this 2009 model with Campy 11 gear to upgrade my racing gear. After just 11 months the aluminum sleeve in the bottom bracket has failed from corrosion and neither Time nor Colorado Cyclist will step up on warranty repair or replacement. I had to ship my frame back to Colorado and six weeks later have nothing to show for it other than telling me I live too close to the ocean.

Strengths: French made (good quality contol-?), stiff, light, longish top tube, fit, finish and comfortable.Weaknesses: Bit pricey, very little sloping top tube, tight triangle - toe overlaping and Time needs to offer another darker color.Bottom Line: I acquired this frame in August of 2007.
I didn't want to write a review until I put some descent miles on it.
After 2000 miles, I can say that this is one of the nicest bikes I've owned.
It's light, stiff and very comfortable.
It also accelerates extremly well.
It weighs in at 15.8 lbs with full DA/Fulcrum Zero clinchers. It drops below 15 lbs with a set of Reynold DV-UL.
It was little out of my price range but I got a deal that I couldn't pass ($2800 for the module that includes stem, seatpost, cage and headset).
When I started to look a CF last year, I narrowed down my list to 3.
They were Cervelo SLC-SL, Look 585 Ultra and Time VXR Proteam.
SLC-SL was very nice. It felt like a fastest one of three at the high speed (maybe it was in my head). It was a stiff and nice handling bike but least comfortable of the three.
However, the downside was it was $4500 and nobody was discounting. I just felt that the Chinese bike should be little less (cheaper labor I imagine) but I guess there is a major overhead paying Team CSC and heavy TV/Media advertising cost.
Look 585 Ultra -
Great handling, stiff and light bike.
It had the best value for my money compare to the other 2.
However, felt like I was between the sizes.
Medium felt too small and Large felt too big.
Time VXR -
Stiff, comfy and light but it was also bit expensive until I found the deal I couldn't pass on.
I would recommend it to anyone with a deep pocket.

Strengths: Stiffness, Power transfer, comfort, a real joy to ride.Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: I love this frame! I have ridden a Colnago for the last 5 years and was going to buy an extreme C from Prestige cycles Online. But They talked me into the VXR a because they had it in stock and I didnt really want to wait for 2 months to get my Colnago. Boy am I glad that I took there advice!! Stiff, Light, responsive!! I can stay on the big ring for alot longer on climbs than i ever could on a Colnago, the power transfer is unreal!! every bit of energy is put down onto the road. And then once you have enjoyed the climb then you can carve through those corners with real confidence and speed.
A really brilliant frame, and it looks fantastic with my build.
And it was cheaper than the Extreme C, thank you TIME!!
