I agree that it sounds like you found a great bike and a good deal. Run with it. Are there other bikes out there that would work for you? Maybe, but if you felt really good on the Litespeed and the price is right, then I'd go for it. And don't look back, at least not until your in the market for your next bike (if there even is a next bike).
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
