Spy Shots! 2011 Litespeed C1R Aero Carbon Road Bike

Throw away bikes? Really? I think it’s more about diversification. It’s not like Litespeed swapped their whole modus operandi. It’s one model in their entire line up. It’s an aero bike…it’s very difficult to make aero shapes out of metal. It’s impossible to make the bike ride well with deep section tubes, if it’s made out of metal. I think we should be commending Litespeed. I’m not saying titanium isn’t a great material, it is. It’s fantastic…but there is a lot of hate out there for carbon. I think we should appreciate what manufacturers are learning and doing with the stuff. Carbon has come a long way and the cost-performance ratio of the carbon process is far more appealing to the bank account. Now, I don’t know what the size of your wallet looks like Cody, but to say that someone is a sheep for riding carbon is a bit hypocritical. All of the “hip” kids are riding custom fabricated Ti and steel bikes…they are the ones that are “following” a trend. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Titanium lasts a lifetime? Give me a break. In fact give me two breaks. I’ve just sent the factory my second “lifetime” Litespeed broken frame. The first frame (Ghisalo) cracked after 3 years and the replacement Vortex also cracked after 3 years of riding. Thank goodness Litespeed honors their warranty. It’s time to try their carbon.

por favor, tengan a amabilidad de enviarme todos los datos tecnicos y graficos de la fabricacion y ensamble de las bicis litespeed…muchas gracias.
