I love that Klein! Badass hardtail!

Don't know much about road bikes but if you have a Klein Attitude Pro, I bet that Litespeed is just as badass!


So what's your preference?

Thanks.

Ghisallo is the top frame make by Litespeed (check out their site litespeed.com). It's my first Ti bike - sooooo smooth.

I just got my road bike so right now it's seeing more daylight. I just rode the Solving century with it.

I can't see the pics, but I know both bikes. What year's the Attitude? Pre or post Trek? Regardless...sweet ride!

As for the Ghisallo...we've had this discussion...sweet ride and if I ever see you in person on the bike I might be forced to bike-jack you!

Hmm,
I just went back and read the whole thread. Ti bike have a rep for being flexy but I've notice no difference b/t my Cannondale and Litespeed. However, I'm a lightweight rider (hills are my strength) The Litespeed is just so much better over rough roads than the 'Dale.

Brant, The Attitude is 1998. Full XTR, Chris King, Thompson, Rockshox SID, Time Atac Carbon. I still enjoy riding it tremendously. Wonderful job by Klein.

98 was pre-Trek, I believe. At least pre moving from here in Washington. Good bikes! What size is the bike?

:schemes to bike-jack a Klein, too:

As for Ti being flexy...that is the case with both Ti and steel if the bottom bracket area isn't designed well. My steel frame is kinda flexy in the bottom bracket, but I tend to be a masher when I power in a gear. Still, I like the tradeoff in bump absorption and overall comfort over a stiff aluminum frame.

To be my next bike investment:




Don't know if I should sell/keep/trade-in my current Dare, though.
