I don't think you'll be making a mistake by purchasing any of those cycles mentioned. Lightspeed, Guru, all of them make great bikes and you can find faults and technology, quality, or performance pros and cons with each bike and the company itself regardless of who it is.
Being able to spend 4-5K on a bike puts you in an enviable place, but also a difficult one because you have that many more options. My next bike will be a Serotta Legend TI which will be my reward for entering and finishing next years St. Anthony's Triathlon. My choice may change by next year, but it's hard to beat getting a bike of that quality that built just for you, to fit you in the best possible way. One thing that I find difficult to rationalize away however, with any large purchase for instance, is the idea of diminishing returns on your dollar. Is a $5000 bike really worth a thousand dollars more than a $4000 bike? There is a huge and readily appreciable difference between a $2000 bike and one for a $1000. But I'm not sure that same jump in realized gain is seen as you move up. You begin paying for the very marginal differences that you may not even realize a true or needed benefit from. Just something to keep in mind. The nice thing is, whatever you purchase at that level will be a fantastic ride and will have your friends green with envy. :) |
Originally posted by Snowblower I debated over a Litespeed for a long time and went away from it. I looked at the quality of construction of the frame and being an Engineer by trade the welds were ok at best. You want to look at quality, look at Moots. They just blow the Litespeed frames away. I purchased a Moots and it looked like some jeweler made it. Not one flaw anywhere. The ride is spectacular. FYI, I purchased all Dura Ace equipment with the Moots Vamoots frame and it cost me less than the Tuscany. Snowblower I fart in your general direction, infidel!!!!!! :crash: :crash: may the fleas of a 1000 camel invest the hair under your armpits and may you scratch yourself till you bleeeeeeeed:crash: :crash: Ok so at least you bought a Moots, you have some taste. You're semi forgiven |

Originally posted by Snowblower Ahhhh, you must have a Tuscany :lol: Don't be such a sore loser, just because you paid a lot more than me for an inferior bike. My condolences to you...... heres to Ti:beer: |

I ride a Litespeed Classic. over the last year I have put 6500+ miles on it and I loved every mile. My previous bike was a R600 Cannondale(12,000 miles on it). I have enough experience on both to give a good evaluation on each. The Litespeed is more comfortable and enjoyable to ride. Less vibration, easier on the hands and seat. The performance is slightly better than the Cannondale and that may be due to the comfort factor. You can't go wrong with a properly fitted Litespeed!
