Theyre nice bikes. I like the round tube appearance on em. Someone had to keep that going since QR discontinued the Santos. I'd like it even more if it was true round tube instead of the shaped stuff, so you could put some couplers on there and have a traveling tri bike. Like I could ever afford one of those to begin with, but still ;)
Life is short. Play hard and get dirty doing it.

Actually, the front tube is bladed, the top tube and rear are round. All the shaped stuff looks great but over a longdistance course I start to question it's efficacy. Litespeed also makes the Blade, which is a Saber with all aero tubing and internal cable routing, but it's even more and I think there are diminishing returns after a certain point. I had a bike split of 1:04:03 in my last Olympic race and I am hoping to shave at least 3 min off that in my next race.

Rock on, man. I like the choice of red tape. Nice R-bends, too!

Yeah, I'm digging the R-bends. Very comfy, which is suprising!

My new Litespeed Saber, as fast as it looks and as the name implies. Full DuraAce 10, Vision R Bend racing bars, Sella San Marco Aspide Triathgel saddle, aero carbon front fork and rear seat stay. It's incredibely stiff, extremely smooth under acceleration, holds speed and cuts trough the air like a knife, I can't say enough about it. I went for a 3 hour ride and averaged nearly 1mph faster than the previous week on my old Ketsrel carbon fiber bike, going from 21 to 22 mph and that was with doubling back 5 times to pick up a slower riding friend. If titanium is your material, this is a great one to get. :cool:
