FS: Litespeed Avior Road Bike, 57cm

Litespeed Avior 57cm, only ridden 6 times, as new!

(Mine has black Ksyrium wheels, unlike this photo which shows normal aluminum color wheels.)

This is Litespeed's 57cm size which is equivalent on me to other companies' 58. I'm 6'1", w/36" inseam, so it's not small.

Originally $2300, sac for $999.

Components
:
Ultegra FD/RD, shifters, cassette, chain, levers, ITM Super bar and ITM Forged Lite Luxe stem, Tektro brakes, FSA Energy Compact cranks and FSA Platium BB, Litespeed Real carbon fork, upgraded CF seatpost and I swapped on a dual-density Serfas saddle which is kick *** compared to what Litespeed provides, and Ksyrium Equipe black wheels.

No idea on weight. The saddle I put on is light but not super light, just comfy and I know the Ksyriums err more on the side of all-around quality, strength and durability rather than being the featherweight race choice. I'd guess the bike is 18.5lbs, but with a super light saddle and wheelset, I've heard racers get this model down to 17lbs.

It's really a fast, responsive and comfortable road bike...perfect for all-'round training and racing for enthusiasts or recreational racers. But I've only ridden it for 6 1-hour training rides, and whenever I get outside now I trail run, so no point in letting it hang around lonely. Get out and ride this rocketship!

Info from manufacturer
:
AVIOR takes full advantage of Litespeed's proprietary ALite aluminum tubing to create a bike with near titanium performance characteristics at a more comfortable price. Built on the same victorious geometry as the celebrated Vortex, the AVIOR sports Geometrically Enhanced Tubing or GET technology that maximizes the structural dynamics of each tube. The menacing Stealth Black paint scheme is the perfect choice for this road hungry predator.

Road race geometry crafted from newly refined lightweight triple-butted Alite aluminum tubing. Diamond-shaped top tube enhances front-end stability New high performance LiteTEC carbon monostay increases lateral stiffness, reduces drag and allows for a smoother ride Massive diamond-shaped down tube adds stiffness and delivers incredible power transfer Oversized seat tube (31.6mm) further increases bottom bracket stiffness for rocket-like acceleration Litespeed's Alite tubing is based on AN6 aluminum. After frame shaping, butting, and welding, it undergoes a proprietary heat treating process yielding a remarkable structure that boasts a higher tensile strength and lighter weight than both 6061 and 7005 series alloys. The higher tensile strength allows us to use less material in our frame designs resulting in lighter weight bikes without surrendering durability.

In town and a god price, quick question how tall are you. I normally ride a 58 but since I have a softride I have a bunch more adjustment.

My bike is worn out, I am getting cracks in the headstock.

Nice bike!! Size wise (5'8 to 6'2, maybe even 6'3) sounds about right. For reference, I've got a 56cm Trek with 175mm cranks and a 58cm Guru with 170mm cranks. I've got a very short stem on both bikes and they both fit great. I'm 6'1 w/a 36" inseam also. Someone's gonna get a great bike.

Not planning on selling the pedals, they were a gift from a friend.

Shipping would be on the buyer's nickel but I'd set it up for sure. There are bike shops nearby; I could have it boxed and shipped.

That would require effort. I don't think you realize who you're dealing with here. I'm the kind of guy who changes the TV channels with a remote when I'm sitting 4 feet away.
