I'll say it again. I love the Litespeed but given the choice, I'll take the Seven.

Sweet bikes...

A filthy winter pic is the best one I can find of my Mongoose. It's more of a pewter, but still in the general vicinity of silver.

It's almost rare to have a chance to look at the subtle differences in fine rolling stock like this.

(and bonus points for the perfectly correct way to use a garage door!)

I say ***** yes that's 5 stars for presentation!

Thank you for the compliments

Of course the Seven, but I don't plan on getting rid of the Litespeed anytime soon.

Who makes that bar tape? Is it really that shiny? I like it. I put Fizik silver bar tape on my bike, but it looks a bit too much like duct tape for my taste.

Yep, it really is that shiny.

It's not slick either. Good grip and extremely durable. Only downside is it is a little stiff and not super easy to wrap with. It's made by F.U.B.A.R. Cheap too.

I was wondering when the Hampsten would jump in the tread. Looks great with those wheels and the Enve fork. I love the headbadge.
