The Lightning has been well received by
customers and independent cycling
reviewers alike. It's an amazing
bike to ride- the superlight, thin
walled tubing frame has the
road feel almost like that of
steel. Unlike full aluminum,
there is a resiliency to the
frame that allows comfort
along with low weight (now
under 16 1/2 lbs) and high
performance.
The Lightning is equipped
with a complementary group
of components. All bearings
are sealed- a low
maintenance relationship is
guaranteed. Just keep air in
the tires, and a little lube on
the chain. And ride.
Note that the bike is supplied with
a fixed cog only, but the flip- flop style
hubs allow a freewheel to be installed on the opposite side of the hub.
There are many other options in how to set your bike up as well. To see those options, and for ordering information, please see below.

| "Its slightly smaller diameter tubes give me a feel for the road that reminds me of the old steel frames I used to use way back. Except that the Lightning is way lighter. In fact the frameset weighs only 4 oz more than my carbon road frame (which cost about 4x as much.) It has almost identical geometry to my carbon bike so that it handles like a good road bike should." David, Dallas TX To read more, click here |
