Can a 20-year-old Tour de France bike actually compete with a modern superbike?! We got our hands on an ICONIC 2005 Quick-Step team edition Time VXRS - a bike from the era of Tom Boonen and Paolo Bettini, dripping with cycling history. We're putting this legendary machine up against the pinnacle of modern engineering, the Pinarello Dogma F, to find out what two decades of innovation really buys you. We compare the mythical ride quality of the Time with the razor-sharp performance of the Pinarello, and then we put them on the clock in a head-to-head power test. The results might just surprise you!
