Pretty unreal to be given an opportunity to see the process Litespeed go through to make a Titanium bike. Not cheap but worth paying the extra money for the ride quality and durability the bike. Components can be upgraded, scratches polished out and the bond you have with your favourite bike just deepens over time.

I hadn't seen this video before I bought my Cherohala Litespeed. Im even happier now that I did, I love old school hand made, I cant wait to get it.

I bought a used litespeed last year, and as a machinist I have a lot of respect for this shop; it might not be ridiculously clean like aerospace but I do not want to pay for it. Their process seems thorough and efficient, you don't need a cnc for everything as I do not need 0.0001 mil accuracy for a bike ... Really great bikes.

Awesome. Reminds me of the Brooks saddle factory in England, where everything is made in house by real craftmen. Just ordered the T1sl road bike from them. When I get it I will put a titanium saddle by Brooks on it, dream bike, I know already now that it will be great.

What a beautiful frame... longevity and beauty of mfg would entice one to choose ti over carbon.

Made in America: Our frames are handmade and quality goes into each one. Or, it doesn't leave our plant. Made in China: You make 10 of these a day or your family never sees you again.

light speed makes a very nice bike. my only only disappointment is the PF bottom bracket. They were threaded in the past and it is the only thing keeping me from buying a new one right now.

They now have a T47 threaded bottom bracket upgrade option

I have a Litespeed Ultimate Gravel. Is Litespeed looking into using 3D tubing in the future or is it just an option??

You need to ask Litespeed this question., I don't know the answer.
