Vortex Road Frame


LITESPEED VORTEX -

The Vortex Road racing frame is made of the stiffer 6AL-4V Titanium tubing and the tubing is cold worked to strain harden and make the tubes even stiffer.

The shifter bosses, watle cage bosses, drop-outs, brake bridge, seat post binder assembly and B/B shell are machined from 6AL-4V Ti plate or Rod stock then TIG with the tubes and stays in the traditional diamond shape.

It uses external cable routing and a 1 3/8" diameter clamp-on rear derailleur.

Available in 7 sizes (stand over height) 49cm (74.0cm) - 51cm (75.9cm) - 53cm (77.6cm) - 55cm (79.2cm) - 57cm (81.1cm) - 59cm (82.7cm) - 61cm (84.5cm) The Vortex comes only in a brushed Titanium finish.

This is an extremely expensive frame because of the tube material. $ 2374.99
