Hot as hell except the Rorschach blots on the fork.
Let’s see the non drive chain side. Please have Linsey hold the bike up over her head and turn around.
more pics of Linsey please…
Probably one of the nicest paint jobs I’ve seen on your bikes in years.
…although it is definitely a bit girly (perhaps a few too many curly cues)…
Now, due that in black, perhaps with that graphite graphic fading from one color to another (let’s say light blue to navy), and perhaps just go with white outline lettering (with a deep red drop shadow, or red outline lettering with a white drop shadow)…
hmmm…
…and can you build that for a dude who is 5’10" with a 32" inseam and have an 80 degree seat tube angle?

Love the white…
The silver graphics need improvement…the one on the seat tube doesn’t seem like part of the whole…the ones on the forks are wierd from the side angle…
Like the silver idea…just not those designs…silver lettering…cool…
The build needs silver tape (or my fav…white!)
White and silver Arione special would be awesome on that bike.
Look super hot! and the bike is nice too ![]()
Hey Herbert, I think it’s a great concept and I like that you are getting away from the bare carbon. I do however think that you need a bit more contrast in those graphics as in the pics online at least they really do not stand out very well at all. Any chance you are looking for graphic ideas;) anyways PM me if interested…
My roommate is applying for you “Litespeed wants You” sponsorship program, Ben Collins, scary fast swimmer, good biker and his run is coming along too. Oh, and awesome guy who is super friendly, humble, coaches a big tri group here and has a lot of potential. Bastard has been nipping me by seconds the last few races:P
I like the white. A white seat would be tight as well…
The concept of a white aero tri bike with white paint and an old school band on the down tube would be appealing to me…
Just a thought.
it’s a nice paint job. i am sure it will sell based on the QR rep. but, it reminds me of all the high-school girls driving their white Volkswagen Golfs.sadly, those are the same people that would be buying this bike. brings back bad memories of all the girls who dusted me!
Add some pearl to that white paint and you have a winner.
Oh yeah… pearl is cool! There is a subtle pearlized top-coating on my orange bike, and it gives a very slight extra oomph!
Hey Herbert,
I like it …you don’t see too many all white bikes. I like the graphics on the top tube …makes it look fast just standing there. Not quite sure about the graphic on the seattube …maybe something a bit more aggressive looking.
Overall package with the Timex jersey, bar tape etc. matches nicely, looks cool and is distinctive ![]()
Cheers
Love it, except for the seat tube graphics. Everything else looks great in terms of color. As much as I love your bikes I wouldn’t want your name tattooed all over MY bike if I were to buy it, but for a sponsored athlete it makes sense. But I love the clean lines and NON look at me aspect. That’s what I love about my current Tequilo, it doesn’t scream out garishly that you should look at me…as I’m blowing by you on the bike course. ![]()
I like it a lot.
I received the Terry catalog in the mail yesterday and commented to my BF about how nice their paint jobs are. Lots of white and silver with curly, wave like designs. This bike reminds me of that. I’d add more swirly stuff to it, but then again I’m a girl. Maybe I’ll have to trade up my Picanti… she’s such a tough old girl though.
I like it a lot.
Very nicely done. Clean and simple without being understated. I agree with the comments that it is more femme than your other schemes. I have a Caliente and I wouldn’t trade for this, but I see the appeal.

It’s very nice. Stick a white saddle and white bar tape on it and it’ll be perfect. Maybe get rid of the little design on the seat tube, now that I think about it.
what bike? j/k. I really like the white with the silver/gray decals. Like many, I do not like the swirl, personally I prefer when the accents follow the shape of the bike frame. Would it be possible to get a close picture of the fork graphs?
Finally!!! A good looking bike.
I agree with Learn…the girl (Linsey) is hotter than the bike by several orders of magnitude ![]()
Personally I like my carbon weave Lucero.
