New bike day!

Yea. Rides real good. Funny thing. I got a notification from Litespeed that is was ready to ship about a month before the most recent ship date. The ship date had been set back a couple of months (to late March/early April) due to shortage of components. I was pleasantly surprised when I go the shipping notice.

When the bike arrived, it was delivered totally assembled by Kitzuma, who I had never heard of. I was looking over the bike while the delivery Tech was doing the paperwork and I noticed this bike had GRX Di2 (I had ordered GRX 810) and a better wheel set than I had ordered, so I told the Tech he must have gotten the wrong bike off of the delivery van. He looked over the paper work and said no, that's the right bike. So, I took delivery and contacted Litespeed. Long story short, they had made a mistake with the Di2 but the upgraded wheel set was on purpose.

After some discussion, I agreed to pay an additional $400 for their Di2 mistake and the upgraded wheel set.

$400 for Di2 is a steal, I think you'll be glad to have it. You have it on your Emonda, right?

Yea, the price difference between GRX Di2 and the GRX 810 was about $700 and the upgraded wheel set was another $400 more than the wheel set I had ordered. So for $400 I got $1,200 worth of upgrades. I could have not said anything to Litespeed about it but, that's not the way I roll.

👍🏻 I missed this post... great pictures of the new bike!

That’s a very nice gravel bike. I imagine it’s tougher than carbon fiber which is preferable off road. My 95 Litespeed Ultimate now resides on my Tacx Neo.

Thanks Tim. I'm looking forward this warmer weather to get some good gravel rides in. Mostly just wanted an American made bike but the Titanium pushes it over the top. I didn't know you have a Litespeed. I really liked the feel of this one on it's first and only ride so far.
