Bike For Sale

Litespeed Vela 57cm 8)

Red Alloy Frame with Carbon seat stays and full Carbon fork. 105 groupset, FSA Compact chainset, Alex wheelset, FSA bar and stem, Fizik Pave saddle.

It is two years, raced one season but no crashes, a couple of scratches/cable rub areas in the paint but nothing serious. The frame is pretty light but a touch flexible for me. Groupset has been fine with no problems. I had to put some different wheels on after the original FSA ones split.

It’s a nice bike for the club run, a first race bike, or a training bike. But I have to sell it to clear the overdraft.

£450 ono

If you PM me I can send more details and photos. Hal

There is a titanium-carbon I have it on my litespeed! I mean titanium and carbon woven, and I can't see whether the seatstays are titanium carbon or not. Its basically so carbon Litespeed came up with.

Research old man, then you won't make any inaccurate comments :wink:

You've lost me there

Do you have a Litespeed?

Are the seatstays ti with a carbon reinforcement inside? (or outside)

Or maybe it's a Titus you have? :lol:

Ah, I think I know what you mean actually - it's carbon, but "reinforced with titanium weave" isn't it. I remember reading about this
