Strengths:    Titanium durability, great geometry.

Weaknesses:    none

Bottom Line:   
I've ridden thousands of hard miles on this bike over the course of 5 years now and it's still great for almost evrything. My fork finaly wore out, but the frame (aside from a few scratches) is a s good as new. I've broken 2 Klein hardtails in the same amount of time that I've had this bike, yet the titanium withstands all the punishment that aluminum couldn't. The only drawback is that this bike is quite a bit heavier than the Klein, but better to have something that's durable

Strengths:    Light. Large seat and chain stays help add rigidity to the rear triangle. Litespeed name.

Weaknesses:    Not feathery light, especially for a Ti frame. Price. Blah Blah grey Ti finish. Why isn't paint an option?

Bottom Line:   
The frame is much better than my old Diamond Back titanium frame. The DBR chain and seat stays were VERY flexy. This frame tracks a very straight line. Could probably get something comparable for less, but without the Litespeed sticker.
