Litespeed
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Litespeed is a U.S. bicycle manufacturer based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, that crafted its first bicycle in 1986. Primarily known as a maker of high-end titanium framed racing bicycles and mountain bikes. From 2002-2006 Litespeed also produced designs using aluminum and carbon fiber construction, but went back to hand crafting titanium bikes in late 2006.
In the 1999 Tour de France, Lance Armstrong rode a Litespeed Blade during time trial events which had been painted and decaled as a Trek. Throughout the years several professional cyclists rode Litespeed bicycles painted and decaled as other brand bicycles.
Currently Litespeed sponsors the DFL-Cyclingnews-Litespeed and Calyon/Litespeed Pro Cycling road teams and also sponsors the Maxxis mountain bike team. The World Cup ITU Triathlon champion Vanessa Fernandes (Portugal) also races on a Litespeed.
