The Lynskey family founded Litespeed. They then sold to ABG (American Bicycle Group). Since then, Litespeed, from outside appearances, has looked like it is trying to decide what it is as brand. They have dabbled in aluminum, carbon, titanium.

Meanwhile, the Lynskey family has reentered the bicycle business and is making great looking TI frames. That is what they do.

Litespeed used to offer many TI models (in 2005 it was 15+). Now they offer 5 (including MTB). Part of that is probably good business. But, it also seems like they are moving away from TI. In 5 years will they have any TI welders on staff to service warranties?

I say this as a happy Litespeed owner. I just bought a Moto TI CX, but it was a close battle with Lynskey's Cooper CX.
