hi guys,
sorry for the delay, wanted to share this with everyone weeks ago but couldn't find time..
anyway, here's Bouygues Telecom TIME team bikes as taken during the recent Tour De Langkawi 2007
i'm a fan of TIME frames, so here's a dose of it (plenty):D

:p Wow. Just plain old VXR's.
hi.
the 2007 vxr is a completely new frameset, with vxrs seat tube, racing matrix carbon tubes (i wonder if it's similar 2006 model, change of name only?)
notice that the TIME stem/steerer design is slightly changed as oppose to the current type. u can see that there's a hex bolt at the top cap.
the campy bora ultra looks sweet on those 'plain' VXR

I prefer the VXRS Ulteam to this bike. Apparently they are going to interchange the bikes depending on the race/course.

the ULTEAM are exceptional bikes:)
and so it the VXR as well.
VXR are mostly used on classic races.
i've ridden both VXR and ULTEAM and don't find any difference between the two model - 2006. as a matter of fact, the handling characteristic, and surprisingly the total bike weight is almost identical.
for 2007, there's not much difference between the ULTEAM and VXR, the only difference i can find is the integrated seat post on the ULTEAM
