I've got a 2000 Litespeed Classic.I got it about 4 months now and I love it but strangely prefer my 89 steel Trek 330.The Litespeed is more comfy on long rides and the Dura Ace is a joy but I love the feel of steel,all 27 lbs of it.With the Trek I feel like I have a mighty steed between my legs.With the Litespeed I become the mighty steed!My Trek is my commuter bike and I ride it on tough city streets.

I got a 1996 Litespeed Classic, that is smooth as silk. Shifts like butter, and light as a feather. However, I prefer to ride my older vintage bikes..

I like my Colnago but I also like my Miyata carbon and Fuji 853 steel. With the most exotic paint job of my bikes I think she stands out from other Titanium rides. I switched to nice red Look pedals when the SPDs self destructed. I also added a Colnago labeled titanium seat post.
