Strengths:    Solid, smooth, light, will last me until i die, beautifully constructed...

Weaknesses:    None so far. I have a small apartment, so I could only fit one bike. While this bike may not be the best at any one thing, it is the best bike ever made if you can only have one bike for everything.

Bottom Line:   
I only have enough room for one bike, so I made it count. This bike rides beautifully, will last a lifetime, and is very smooth, yet solid. I put fenders and a rack on it to ride to and from work, I've ridden a triathlon on it, and I even change the wheels to knobbies for singletrack. I'm very happy with the bike, and haven't found a weakness yet.

I picked this up off of Ebay last Dec. I'm no wrench by any means so I picked out the goods and had my local LBS Rincon Cyclery assemble it for me. I think they did a great job - n   Read More »

Litespeed Appalachian Owners, I have a question...

Hoping to pick up a frameset here shortly, and I've read that you can fit some pretty fat tires in there. Any chance you can rock some 29er tires? Any ideas on max tire width?    Read More »
