Litespeed build complete.............
 

Well after taking my time and waiting for the barrel adjusters the Litespeed project is done. Only thing left is a ride so I can report back. The build is alot from my old bike with the addition of:

Shimano R700 compact double crank
Spinergy Xaero Lites
Real Designs front carbon fork

Hopefully a ride report can be given soon. Weather here is pretty bleak right now with no good looking day soon.

what happened to the decals?

Your Litespeed's gone stealth.

Sweet!!!

What happened to the old yellow decals? I have to admit, they would actually look pretty cool if they were still on there. Maybe you could find some on Ebay?

+1

Flip it!

Sweet lord that's ugly.

+1, you got one sweet bike. Litespeed = my favorite so far.

Very nice bike. I have to say, however, that those Pedro's Hatchback bags are junk, IMO. I had two disintegrate at about a year old to year-and-a-half.

"I have stripped off the stock decals because I hated the look of them and have gone with a clean Ti look"


Good enough reason for me. :)

Hvae you seen the ugly decals on a Teramo frame for 06'! Ugggggly!:D

I do have some custom decals on the way that will be yellow and simply say "Litespeed":)

I hate riding with bags but I do carry some simple tools in case of a breakdown. I ride prepared.:D

correct.

Also forgot.............weight came in at 18.2 lbs. I thought a sub 18 frame and just missed it!

cut your hair, take a laxative, you'll hit it.

Nice bike, though the yellow spokes may be a bit much for my taste.

I would leave the frame bare, it looks good. Lightspeed has always had bad taste in fonts.

Hmm would like it better if the frame was darker. silver black yellow? My opinion entirely

Not yours entirely... ;)

Hmm maybe powdercoat it a metallic dark grey(like my car)? That would look sexy

Flip The God Dam Stem

+1 and where are the decals, flip it, etc. etc. etc. etc.

Nice. Like the yellow,

Looks great! I like the wheels. Now please flip it.

He copied me....:p

As I said in your other thread, I really like the yellow, it's refreshingly different, and the spokes work very well with your theme. Not too sure I like the marbled tape though, might be a cleaner look with solid tape. At to "flip it", I would definetly try the bike both ways, after having most of my bikes with stems positioned like yours, I finally flipped them all this year and find the the ride to be comfortable and the bikes definitely look better. But most of all, get out and ride that beautiful new bike!
