    LiteSpeed Judgement Call

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Ok gals. I have the option to buy a beautiful LiteSpeed 2006 Tachyon. It's on sale from $2999 to $2299. I might- MIGHT!- be able to barter it down to $2100 or maybe $2000.

    What do you guys think? It felt so good and FAST!!

    I enjoy it all.

    The frame is obviously quality.

    What are the components on the bike? That is what will justify the $2000 for it.

    Looks like a good deal. Just making sure nothing below a 105 was on there.

    You should go for it, if it fits and you love it.
