They look pretty nice. Anybody riding one? I wonder if this is the future for Litespeed?
For my personal tastes Litespeed is an option I won’t consider any longer b/c if I want ti, why would I weaken it with carbon? Having had 3(Tachyon,Ultimate,Vortex)that I loved…they are one giant marketing gimmick after another. I had no idea they were making a complete carbon frame now. If they will stop blending that stuff I would look at another one!
The mid 90’s were the best of days, again for my tastes, in the Litespeed factory. I cracked my Vortex on the down tube above the bb and Mark Lynskey sent me a brand new frame, no questions asked. To that end, the new ownership has handled two warranty claims on cracked carbon stays on 1 friend and 1 acquaintance rider…both were handled horribly. Neither bike was ever fixed properly and they both dumped them for pennies on the dollar.
Hope they go back to the old days b/c I would buy one.
I had the full carbon pavia years ago and I can say that it was the WORST carbon bike I have ever ridden. It felt dead, the BB sloshed all the place. Got rid of it the first chance I got. I also had a Ti Sienna and it GREAT!
I hope they have improved on their carbon

That Pavia was just a stock carbon mold that was sold in all kinds of incarnations. The new ones apparently aren’t.
They got lots of catching up to do in the carbon world: http://www.lookcycle.com/products/
