China alternative frame for Time Alpe De Huez
« on: February 08, 2024, 06:35:09 PM »
Hi greeting all.
I've keen interest with Time ADH frame. The frame design and geometry are pleasant to my eyes. However the price is super expensive.

Are there any chinese frame can be alternative for Time ADH with almost same design and geo? Hope to hear some suggestions from this forum member.

Thank you

I've been eyeballing the TFSA JH-15 frameset which I believe is modeled closely to the Cervelo R5 and also looks similar to this Time ADH frame. Visually I prefer higher chain stays.

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes I can say it's 80% the same in term of look compare to Time ADH. The only clear difference for me is that the top tube area look have some curve compared to ADH.

It's much more like the Ceccotti DCRF32 rather than TFSA JH-15 even if Ceccotti has a higher stack (13 mm).
Compared both XS size on Bike Insights.
Also the appearance is quite similar (see attached pic)

Bikecloset in USA has ADHX at around $1500 on a closeout. Grey only, but a crazy deal. https://bikecloset.com/product/time-adhx-carbon-disc-frameset-2/
They also have the regular ADH in multiple colors 1500-1800. Its tire size limited, whereas the ADHX takes up to 38
