New Litespeed Icon
 
http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.c..._1973_75189743


Didn't bother to check if anyone has posted anything on this new bike from Litespeed or not, but I thought I would post a pic since I ran across one...Looks like it shares the same tech w/ the new Archon but priced a little less...

I just picked up one of those bad boys! It looks amazing! Really stiff for a Ti bike and rides like a champ!

What's with the "I wish I was carbon" paint scheme?

What about that says carbon to you? I for one love the paint job on the Litespeed Archon. Its about time they started painting Ti frames, look at Lynskey's bikes...some of the best paint work around period!

The white paint job looks awesome in person one of the best looking bikes I have seen. I didnt know that CF bikes were the only ones meant to be painted though...weird

Sorry, I was referring to the Litespeed Orca, I mean Archon.

But yeah, it looks nice. I've always liked the look of titanium bikes, I guess their marketing peeps want to spice up their line up a bit.

That's pretty minimal paintwork- still a lot of Ti showing through. I'm not complaining.

I miss the classic look of the old Litespeeds.
