Good comment on paint factory explosion.
I'd be wanting probably electronic shifting for the price and as many pointed out .. a band on front mech on a carbon frame???
Defintely not for wallflowers in the bunch.

    My Carbon frame has a band on mech, what of it?

    Perfectly functional of course... you are not heavy handed type who would over tighten if it needed to be adjusted.

    Valves all over the place, should be at the 6 o'clock position. Ugh - don't even get me started on this one!

    That bring out the pedant in me. It's LIGHTNING dammit. And I know it's deliberate but I still find it annoying...

    It certainly stands out a bit .... that is a bit to much for my liking
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    It's called Lightning (or if you are American Litening), that has to be worth a few extra strikes :lol:

    It could hardly have that name and then be matt black could it 8)

    hate cube color schemes, this bike looks ugly...it looks like a kaleidoscope.

    for that price there won't be any Di options such as the DA Di2..same price bracket as the Canyon SLX9.0 red...which looks better by far
    Road - Cannondale CAAD 8 - 7.8kg

    I've owned my Litening for about 3 years - they are truly fabulous bikes to ride and great value for money.
