litespeed m3

[davehirst]

long time lurker here.
I have been offered a new 2015 lightspeed m3 bike ( shimano 105 10 sp)at a goodish price (i think).
I cannot find any reviews on it, only its titanium brothers.
Does any one know anything about this bike, I like its looks, but have not test rode until I found out more about it.
Thanks
dave

Think this one is carbon rather than their litespeed Ti framed bikes. With 105 10 speed sounds like a rebuild from a frameset so I wouldn't be paying anymore than $1500-2000 (most of that would be the frameset) I'd say without being an expert in that brand.

yup, i didnt make it clear.
It is 24 k carbon (whatever that mean)

[davehirst]

the company was founded by david lynskey, and other carbon build he has made have reasonable reviews

Sorry I read your post wrong regarding titanium brothers. But yeah I know the whole back story on litespeed and Lynskey (Ive actually just bought a Lynskey - maybe thats what drew me to the thread!). Not knocking the bike but wouldn't you want an 11 speed bike?

So I'm guessing its this one... which is bang on what Id expect to pay without knowing too much about it.

That would be 1200 USD mentioned in there about $1600 aud.
