    Since there really isn't another good cycling thread:
    Last week I managed to get a Litespeed bike on my way back from Maryland. All Dura Ace equipment, FSA wheels, Chris King headset, fizik Aliante saddle (which is the most comfortable I've ever ridden)
    Tested it out last Saturday on the 5 In 50 Ride in Rush County, 54 miles.
    It's a joy to ride. Made sure I didn't obstruct any of the few cars we saw that day.

    I had the serial number looked up -
    Well well...
    Just found out that the Litespeed titanium bike I recently acquired was a Vortex (top of their line) built in 1996 for their professional road racing team, custom geometry. Guess that explains the racing number hanger tab on the top tube.
    So the bike has an established racing pedigree. Unfortunately I do not.
    But I do enjoy riding it.

    Those are great bikes, rode with friends for years that rode lightspeed, not sure of models. The Aliante saddle was the best I ever found. Great find!

    Rode Monday with my father in law who is 83 and fit as a fiddle. We both have RadCity e-bikes and did 46.2 miles on the Panhandle up to and past Winamac. They just added another mile going North out of Winamac, not sure but think they have plans to keep going and maybe someday hook up with the trail in North Judson. Nice to see my father in law still out biking, he has done over 1800 miles in 2 years.
