Litespeed Sewanee Rubbish

[AndreZA]

Why don't you contact the Lynskeys (http://www.lynskeyperformance.com/a/) and ask them what they think. They started Litespeed and when it got to corporate, they broke away and started Lynskey.

STILL NO JOY.. ............ THEY CLAIM TO BEING NICE AND OFFER ME A NEW BIKE TO PURCHASE FOR 2000+ USD PLUS SHIPPING.

 

They offered me the same - i nearly fell over laughing.

its hard for me to believe this could have happened from riding, I have had a sewanee for 5 yrs and a Obed hardtail before that for 12 years. They both have been ridden hard and never a dent. Litespeed should fess up to a manufacturing defalt.

I have found a company in Cape Town that can do titanium welding - MCR Welding, Unit 11 Rosbur Park, Carlisle Street in Paarden Eiland. Speak to Mark on 021 510 0933. He says he does many bicycles - he can do aluminium frames as well. Unfortunately he cannot find any titanium sheet of the type used for the Sewanee frame, so he has just welded the cracks and closed a hold he put in the centre of the tube where he made a tentative attempt to pull the dent out. I am now looking for a scrap titanium frame i can use to form a 'semi-tube' over the dented area.
