Our bikes back at their birthplace ;-)

Lots of frames welded and ready to be finished... titanium heaven ;-) 

Before and after... 

Herbert Krabel is the Director of Marketing for Litespeed and took us on a tour of the factory... here showing how a block of titainum is machined into a seatpost clamp for a Litespeed.
