Morning All,

Looking to get some thoughts on the Litespeed Sewanee frame.

I have always like the idea of a short travel full suspension frame (Kona Hei Hei etc) but newer been that keen on the frames I have seen.

I am way off a purchase of such a frame but ......

The Litespeed Sewanee does have a lifetime warranty on its side.

Any thoughts on this or any other short travel FS bikes?

I did speak to 18bikes about a prototype they were working on but I think that was going to be a hardcore short travel bike.

Cannondale Scapel for me, amazingly supple and plush. Cannondale Rush's are good too.

Far rather have a Scalpel - lighter and cheaper.

The Sewanee's been around a long time unchanged, there's a stupidly light one on light-bikes.com. A friend raced one for a few years and really liked it, and the ABG rep was raving about it when they released it.

Falls into the same bracket as all other ti bikes for me; there's cheaper things out there that do a better job.

YMMV.
