FS:Litespeed Bella

Hey girls!
I'm selling my baby and she is listed on ebay! Auction ends next week. I want her to go to a good home, so I would love for someone off of TE to get her. I also know that with all the sales drama on TE lately, I thought it would be best to just post her on ebay and then give everyone here the link to ebay.

Hope someone here wants her over a "real stranger"

Do you have a "buy it now" price in mind? I really don't know that I deserve to treat myself, especially since my riding has slacked off significantly, but it sure is a nice bike...and she's my size...

Emily,
That is a great-looking bike! Why are you selling it? Did it not fit you well?

good luck w/ebay!

Laura,
I love this bike, it fits me like a glove actually! But it is a more relaxed geometry then I want for racing I have discovered, I used to have a stiff, aggressive carbon frame, and I just miss that positioning for crits. But let me tell you- I can go do a century, of 75% climbing, on this bike and I am so comfy! I also can go do the super fast paced group rides(pacelining around 30mph) and hold right on.

It pretty much comes down to the fact that I am a college student who can not afford to keep this bike and get another one, so I unfortunatly have to sell her to get back into a carbon frame. I wish I could keep the Bella for long rides and anything involving longer climbs(when I lived in Albuquerque this summer, one part of my ride was a 4mile climb that covered around 3,000 ft and I loved doing it on this bike).

Wow, that's quite a climb.

I checked out eBay, sounds like a great bike. A little small for me, I think.

On a side note, how do you like the Sram shifters?

I love SRAM! It works so well for my smaller hands. I used to have Shimano(ultegra) and I could never get it to through from the big to the small ring and then back, I was always stuck in whatever ring I was in(unless I got off and manually moved it). Now I never have those issues, the double tap eliminates the throw issues.

I tried. At the very least, I ran the bids up a couple hundred. I was outbid with 1 sec left- they must have the sniper software... I'm supposed to be saving for a house anyways. Darn!

Once again, she is a lovely bike.

Thanks for trying Aly! I am happy she sold, but wish I had put a reserve on, oh well!

I still got enough to replace her with the Tarmac I wanted, so that is good:-) I'm actually kind of sad that I sold Isa(bella,haha).
