Price Paid:  $800.00 at Excel Sports Boulder

Favorite Ride:
Group rides in the country

Bike Setup:
Full Ultegra. Mavic Cosmos and Spinergy Spox R2+ wheelsets.

Summary:
After my carbon bike's BB shell became unglued, it was time to get another bike. I wanted something that rode well (comfortable on > 100k rides) and would hold up over time. Titanium was clearly the answer. I've put in many miles on this bike over the last couple of years. For the type of riding I do (fast recreational), it's just about the perfect bike. This bike is a rebadged Litespeed Arenberg, FWIW.

Strengths:
Comfort. Durability. Quality (whaddaya expect - it's a Litespeed!).

Weaknesses:
None really. But if you race, you'll want a frameset that is stiffer 'cause there is a fair amount of BB flex when you stomp on it.
