I hadn't noticed. Maybe it that way on purpose, 'cause he is a rebel.

This is dumb and won't prevent a damn thing...

Plus, there's no way the light that creates the front of the line would clear the legs if a rider were actually on the bike.

^ I wouldn't say that's totally JA. While I wouldn't be in any rush to go out and buy one it's just a regular rear light with an added feature for more visibility. I saw someone riding with on of those styled lights mounted under the saddle, his legs didn't block the light and the lines were really bright.

I saw one of those lights in person once, as a driver, i don't think I'd notice the lights on the road all that much...as a cyclists, I tried to catch up to the guy so I could ride in between the lines.

I am not sure if I already said but, I bought one of those rear lights but the lasers were really weak (completely washed out by car headlights) and the lines far too close for car-passing comfort, even in this video. I think it might help pavement cyclists who do not want other pavement cyclists to come too close.

I'm sending that to a friend...he owns a few older Litespeeds and is going to have a stroke.
I remember when REI used to sell them...I lusted over them so bad.
What's the deal on that chainring? It looks like the Olympic "Shimano" style but smaller like a 132bcd

it's definitely 144 BCD, from what i understand they're both made by shimano and olympic grade but the ones printed with dura ace were limited production and really rare.

There is one sitting in the take-off bin at a shop around the corner from me for only $10 that I've often been tempted to grab...but I think this bike has cured me of that

My heart dropped into my stomach when I saw that poor Litespeed. I literally said, "Oh no!" out loud.
It reminds me of Ralphy in the movie Christmas Story when his mom dresses him up in the bunny suit and he is so embarrassed.
Take it off!!!

He DOES have knick-knacks in his fish bowl.
AND his pool table felt is red.
There's a lot of evidence in this picture that the owner of the litespeed has questionable taste.

I would show that frame so much love if it were mine.
