Litespeed Avior 57cm, only ridden 6 times, as new!

(Mine has black Ksyrium wheels, unlike this photo which shows normal aluminum color wheels.)

This is Litespeed's 57cm size which is equivalent on me to other companies' 58. I'm 6'1", w/36" inseam, so it's not small.

Originally $2300, sac for $999.

Components:
Ultegra FD/RD, shifters, cassette, chain, levers, ITM Super bar and ITM Forged Lite Luxe stem, Tektro brakes, FSA Energy Compact cranks and FSA Platium BB, Litespeed Real carbon fork, upgraded CF seatpost and I swapped on a dual-density Serfas saddle which is kick ass compared to what Litespeed provides, and Ksyrium Equipe black wheels.

No idea on weight. The saddle I put on is light but not super light, just comfy and I know the Ksyriums err more on the side of all-around quality, strength and durability rather than being the featherweight race choice. I'd guess the bike is 18.5lbs, but with a super light saddle and wheelset, I've heard racers get this model down to 17lbs.

It's really a fast, responsive and comfortable road bike...perfect for all-'round training and racing for enthusiasts or recreational racers. But I've only ridden it for 6 training rides, and whenever I get outside now I trail run, so no point in letting it hang around lonely. Get out and ride this rocketship!

Info from manufacturer:
AVIOR takes full advantage of Litespeed's proprietary ALite aluminum tubing to create a bike with near titanium performance characteristics at a more comfortable price. Built on the same victorious geometry as the celebrated Vortex, the AVIOR sports Geometrically Enhanced Tubing or GET technology that maximizes the structural dynamics of each tube. The menacing Stealth Black paint scheme is the perfect choice for this road hungry predator.

Road race geometry crafted from newly refined lightweight triple-butted Alite aluminum tubing. Diamond-shaped top tube enhances front-end stability New high performance LiteTEC carbon monostay increases lateral stiffness, reduces drag and allows for a smoother ride Massive diamond-shaped down tube adds stiffness and delivers incredible power transfer Oversized seat tube (31.6mm) further increases bottom bracket stiffness for rocket-like acceleration Litespeed's Alite tubing is based on AN6 aluminum. After frame shaping, butting, and welding, it undergoes a proprietary heat treating process yielding a remarkable structure that boasts a higher tensile strength and lighter weight than both 6061 and 7005 series alloys. The higher tensile strength allows us to use less material in our frame designs resulting in lighter weight bikes without surrendering durability.

D your price seems reasonable, why you selling? Cycling is much better on the knees then running and great for building your cardio level for MA.

i had a sweet lightspeed mountain bike that got stolen in college. I had even removed all the decals from it, but i guess that sweet looking Ti frame stood out. Good luck with the sale, if it were MTB I'd probably grab it.

Minus the theft, same thing

I've just been having so much fun trail-running, that now it's what I do whenever I get outside to exercise. The bike's just not being used, although I used to love cycling. I still love it, but I'm enjoying gettin' muddy and sandy on foot for now. I'm thinking of entering a trail running race sometime soon, and will start training to do Mt. Whitney in a few months.

great deal bro.. good luck.

Some local shmo wanted the bike, then flaked, somebody grab this!

man if it was only bigger (insert sad face here)

i've really been contemplating road biking along w/ my mountain biking excursions and this would be perfect

No, if you were only smaller. :p
