I've bought a 2003 Litespeed Blue Ridge - full ultegra w/ Mavic Open Pro's. I've got almost 4,000 miles on it and have only had to true the rear wheel once and put a new chain on it. I had 23c tires but last fall switched to Conti Touring 28c tires.
I have fenders, rear rack and lights on it as well. It is used as a light touring and long ride bike.
I weight 240 and am 6'1". I have a 59cm frame.
I also have an older 1998 Lemond Alpe D'Huez steel 525 bike that I bought this past spring. I have put over 1,000 miles on it with no problems at all - all stock - lower end Campy and Mavic wheels. I have 25c Conti gator skins on that bike. I use this on shorter go fast bike rides <40 miles.
I have a B17 on the Litespeed and a B17N on the Lemond.
I highly recommend both steel and Ti bikes.
