Strengths: Light, forgiving and very responsive!!
Weaknesses: Stickers, a little too large (although i had litespeed make them in a diffent color to match the rest of the bike)
A little concerned about the integrated deralier hanger - will have to see how it plays out...Bottom Line: Spent a long time looking for my dream bike and was set on the new Trek Madone, However I happened to make the misstate of spending a little too much time in a bike shop and came away with the litespeed frame.
With just the frame and forks i decided to build my dream bike from scratch and have it custom built.
A while later and twice over budget I have been riding this bike at every opportunity.
Fantastic ride and definitely worth the money when you see the craftsmanship.
I looked at the Vortex, but preferred the more classic look of the Tuscany, this will be a frame for life.
This bike is able to wear many hats from triathlons to recreational riders, with a little tweaking of the setup it a bike for all occasions.
Don't hesitate spend a little more and ditch the carbon, you wont be disappointed.

Strengths: lite, compared to my old steel frame,stiff in the front triangle and forgiving on the back.Weaknesses: stickersBottom Line: This bike was a bigger surprise than expected. Being the right fit for me probably has a lot to do with the dream ride that i'm experiencing. Iv'e gone from a steel univega frame to this Titanuim one and the ride is just magical. The aggressive angles on this frame carves the corners nicely.
Favorite Ride: the back roads that lead to nowhere
Price Paid:
$1500.00

Strengths: Light weight and responsive. The frame totally soaks up the vibration. Great design and solid construction.Weaknesses: Stock seat a real pain (literally). Customer service at Litespeed is light years behind their craftsmanship.Bottom Line: Absolutely love my bike. Given my size and weight, 6'4" 205 lbs, I wanted a full frame, light weight bike that could handle the load and not wear me down after 100 miles and respond flawlessly on any surface at 30+mph.
I am amazed at what I get out of my sub 19 lb. bike. I ride this bike 180+ mi./week and usually do one 40+ mi. stretch up and down the Salt Lake Valley and when the ride ends, I always look forward to the next ride.
Favorite Ride: Any day on my bike is a favortie ride
