Strengths: Light, compliant and fast. Titanium does not rust or corrode.Weaknesses: Expensive, not strong enough for a 175 lb. rider.Bottom Line: I bought this bike in 2005 and it was a Litespeed demo built with durace 7800 and a carbon wheelset. I average about 5K miles a year and weigh 175 lbs. I enjoyed this bike until last weekend when I noticed a stress crack from the cable stop mounted on the head tube into the down tube. Fortunately, it has a lifetime warranty and Litespeed is sending an Icon to replace it. I hope to have better luck with a heavier titanium tubeset.
Favorite Ride: Fast ones

$3500.00

Strengths: Climbs hill like mountain goat, Fast and very stable down hill, Great looks and performance.Weaknesses: Trying to find some; let you know if I find any.Bottom Line: Simply Amazing!! Nimble, light and moves like a snake and with fluid motion without any lost in energy. Climbs the hill with ease that I've never experienced before. Forget the comfort of carbons; if it drags down your energy then you are tired after few hours. This is like a miracle in cycling technology. Many thousand thanks to Litespeed.
Favorite Ride: Palos Verdes and S.Cal Bike Trails.
Price Paid:
$2000.00
Purchased At: Ebay
Similar Products Used: Trek 5200, Look 486, Specialized Roubaix Pro, Giant TCR Carbon, other Litespeeds.

Strengths: Weight, stiffness, ride, appearance, longevity.Weaknesses: price (although all high end bikes are expensive, particularly similar quality carbon bikes)Bottom Line: I have a special fondness for silver bikes, as my first road bike was a silver steel columbus tubed bike in 1970. The Ghisallo is very light and adequately stiff. It is smooth over rough roads and for me descends well at 40+mph. I like the way titanium is impervious to the usual paint chips, and it cleans up well. The thin tubes take a little getting used to, but they appear to be very strongh and adequately stiff. This is my favorite bike (I have a Colnago E1 and Tomassini Fire).
Favorite Ride: country roads
Price Paid:
$6000.00
Purchased At: online frame
Similar Products Used: Colnago, Tomassini.
Bike Setup: Changed from its original DA to Campy Record, Zipp wheels, Powertap SL2.4, Zipp stem/bar, Easton ec90sx fork, with result that total cost as equipped exceeds price referenced above.

Strengths: Light at just over 3 lbs. for the frame alone. Well made and welds are very smooth.Weaknesses: Hated the badging so I made the bike naked by stripping off decals. replaced with custom ordered decals.Bottom Line: Stiff frame that performs well. I bought the frame only from a online store new. The fork is marginal which is a Real Design HP. May replace it down the road. I have all ultegra set up minus the R700 compact crank. The frame has made for a light ride with my set up. I also bought a Spinergy Xaero Lite wheelset that has been a great compliment to this bike.
Favorite Ride: Litespeed Teramo 06'
Price Paid:
$3000.00
Purchased At: Built by myself
Similar Products Used: None.
Bike Setup: As stated above.......
