Litespeed Archon C Series Carbon
Who else is excited about these?! I will be getting one in the next few months, maybe as a late Christmas present to myself.

It sure looks like a sweet ride. If I were in the market for a new bike, I'd consider one.

Throw the stick!!!!
Just do a google search on Litespeed warranty. You may not like what you find.

I dislike the goofy Cervélo cable routing, have read many horror stories of Litespeed warranty claims since being sold by the Lynskey's. I'm sure it's a fine bike though.

bike hasn't arrived but couldn't pass it up. if the fit isn't right unfortunately I'll be sending it back, concerned it might be a little short in the reach dept.

I can say from personal experience handling warranty claims that there are a lot of people out there who think any company who sells anything at a store is raking it in, and they should hand out free replacements when you abuse their product, like slamming the door on your graphite fishing rod, and then saying it broke on a fish when clearly the rod was crushed.
Good news is that I found nothing about the new LS C series frames. Not surprising as they are only a few years old, but that also tells me they have a good QC program and aren't accidentally selling defects.
Did you find anything directly related to the new LS carbon C series frames?
