    Great build really nice bike, luckily for me it would too small also, haha. Just wanted to say this was a first time for me watching one of your videos. I’ve subscribed to your channel. Because I liked your video, and you didn’t ask for subs like most other people do.

    Beautiful bike. The aluminum fork provides great front end feel. Killer wheelset. That thing is a keeper.

    What a nice bike! I'm very happy to own two litespeeds. A T1SL road bike and an Ultimate. They are my favorite bikes 😍

    • @jkotsche7035

      Same here. The Ultimate is circa 1999. I upgraded the group set and crankset to Ultegra mechanical, Ritchey fork and HED wheels.
      LS is running a trade-in special. They aren't offering much for a trade.
      LS pricing is getting a little crazy.
      The T1SL as you know is no longer being manufactured.
      What is your take between the Spezia and the T1SL?

    Really nice bike. I wanted Ti but I ran into a deal on a new giant TCX that I could not pass up.

    The Bike Industry does not want you to know about vintage cyclocross bikes. Bullet proof reliability, simple maintenance, relatively inexpensive and best of all - almost unlimited versatility.

      Right! I have a LeMond Poprad, which is old but fun to ride.

    I feel like I missed it. How wide a tire will it run comfortably do you think?

    • @IKnowAGuyBicycles
      @IKnowAGuyBicycles  6 місяців тому

      I believe the tire clearance is 35 mm to 40 mm. Based off cycle cross racing and early 2000s. Some gravel bikes of today are a wider width, but the bike wasn’t designed for those. Also tire brands can vary on the actual width, even though they are stamped the same dimensions.
