Did you piece the frame together yourself or did Litespeed do that for you. You must be one tall MoFo, cuz man that bike is HUGE

Wow. SO you weld? I wish I could do stuff like that. Nice looking ride though. Very nice keeping it under 15 lbs with such a large frame.

nice bike you got there!
Maybe you could 'tune' it a bit with some more gold bolts etc. to complement the golden headset in the future? I think it looks a little lonely as the only golden component
I like it you took off the stickers on your wheels.
Are the bottlecages so low on purpose? I have this on one of my bike's and always have to adjust to it when switching bikes, for me it is pretty anoying, but hopefully it won't bother you.

Great looking bike there and yes that is one large frame. I agree that you should throw on some more "mango" somewhere on the frame.....if you're bored. 
bikemesenger,
I never knew litespeed would make a frame with such an eclectic set of tubes. What percent slope is that on your frame? It looks like 4%. It looks great.....I like how the stem flows with the TT.

Not many people know that Litespeed will make anything you want for a price. I had that frame made while I worked there but I saw some crazy frames go through the custom shop. Most of them were cool but there were a few that you just wondered what were they thinking.

The stem is a section of Vortex top tube welded into a stem.

Maybe you should call it a Cortex - you could go into competition with Cervelo
