  1. got my new pushy delivered today🙂
    some pics are at:
    http://www.dejonica.com/litespeed

    it's a litespeed capella
    alu frame with carbon seat stays/carbon forks
    ultegra running gear, fsa cranks, mavic rims etc

    the poor old pug is going to be sent to the scrapheap🙂
    though i'll probably keep the old wheels for commuting and sell the ultegra
    stuff from the pug on ebay *cheap plug*

    i was stupid enough to leave appropriate spanner at home to change my pedals
    over🙁
    so no riding the litespeed till tonight🙁

    Looks very nice Dej.......you going to bring it out for a BR one day??

    How old is your Ultegra gear on the Pug (I am assuming that it is 9spd)?? I
    might either have to have a crack at it on ebay or make you an offer before
    you list.

    Cheers,

    Gday,
    yeah i'll try and get to another BR one day, ive been slack of late..riding
    to work each day and not doing much on the weekend..
    The ultegra gear has mostly sold already🙁 i put it on ebay the day i posted
    about the bike and it sold within 1/2 a day..
    The only thing i have left is the ultegra cranks/bb and a 105 front
    derailer..

    gday dutch,
    here's the specs..

    top tube: 55.3cm
    head tube angle: 73
    seat tube angle: 73.5
    chainstay length: 40.9
    bb drop: 6.8
    wheelbase: 98.8
    frame weight: 1314grams

    tis a smooth ride..seems to be very twitchy when you turn which took a bit
    of getting used to

    shoulda known as a photoshop-butcher™ that pictures always lie 😄

    very inconsiderate not buying it in MY size, geeeesh! 🙄

  8. wait a minute, since when did litespeed made an alu bike?
    doesnt it defeat the purpose of buying a litespeed?

    What's the fork rake? I'm back on my old Colnago (71.5 degree head, 43mm rake) after most of a year on the audax bike (72.5 degree head, 45mm rake). The Colnago goes in straight lines really well, but is a right pig to get to turn. You don't notice it after riding it for a while, but the first couple of fast corners are interesting.

    Regards,

    Suzy
