CONGRATULATIONS!
You’ve just bought one of the finest bicycles in the world; a Litespeed!
Since our beginning in 1986, we’ve been developing and refining the
quality of our bicycles. We have been an industry leader, working with
top name suppliers to identify the best new materials and latest
developments in technology.
We ride and refine the bicycles ourselves. We are bicycle enthusiasts,
and have been since our inception. We ride Litespeed bikes daily to
test and re-test our race-proven and time-tested frames. The result is
a collection of durable, lightweight, high-performance bicycles that we’re
sure you will be proud to own and ride.
We are extremely proud of the products we offer, and the service offered
by our staff and our distributors. We have been recognized year after year,
and in 40 countries around the world, for our superior frame designs and
unique performance characteristics. We are certain our hard work will be
evident every time you go fora ride. So here’s wishing you many years of
enjoyment!
Thanks for investing in a Litespeed,
Litespeed Bikes
