the only Litespeed I'm convice that Lance rode was the Blade timetrial bike in the '99 Tour (it's so obvious it's laughable that "Trek" was printed on the side). Ever since then, his bikes are Treks - Litespeeds bikes don't have that organic shapes b/c Ti can't be shaped that way.
I'm also noting that Ti as a construction material sUx0r. If the application doesn't have a high-temp environment, why not use Al? One of the nifty things about Ti6AlV4 is that it's modulus of elasticity matches that of bone, making it an excellent choice for hip replacements, etc.

I'm also telling you that $1k (give or take a couple bills) is an excellent price point for a bike IMO...

I'm gonna show him some nice rides in the Bay Area then some real hills in San Francisco.
also, I'm a believer in carbon fiber but more of a believer in Titanium.

I'm noting that living in the Bay Area would vastly increase my desire to ride the pickle.
