While neither of those are particularly interesting to me as brands— I see so many Seven bikes around, I wonder if they don’t use contract manufacturing to kick those things out— I do find the design elements of the Litespeed interesting, moreso than the very basic construction of the Seven.
The tube shaping, machined yoke, and seatstay design make me curious about how those elements impact performance.
