@@mrichards55 Sorry! Thank you for trying again! 🙂
I enjoyed watching this video. I wish I was such an expert at assembling bikes. Do we even need to comment on bike?! It's a machine. A beautiful machine. I don't like carbon bikes anymore
Thank you that’s very kind! ❤️
Nice video Reginald.
Beautiful bike build, nice clean.and uncluttered.All the best!.
Thank you! Im quite proud of it. 🥹
Absolutely stunning bike. Great vid. Congrats
#RimBrakeMafia💪😎🤟
Thank you so much! Rim for the win! 😁👍🏻
I love the looks of raw metal bike frames mixed with carbon parts
Yeah, me too…🤤
Thank you for watching! Please subscribe for more videos! 🙏🏻🙂
good stuff mr reginald
Thank you. 🙏🏻 And thanks for the camera work.😘
Very nice!
I just finished building a similar one. Moots Vamoots RSL ( Rim ) total weight with pedals, garmin mount and bottle cages was 16 pounds in size 56 :) very happy
7.25kg not bad at all for 56cm. 👍🏻
@@reginaldscot165 thanks :)
Beautiful bike and great film. The editing is first class! ...the first film of yours where you don't speak a word😂
Ha ha, I think many would consider that a vast improvement. 😅
Legit 💯
Thank you!
Great video! Didn't realise a titanium frame could be so light.
Would be great to hear more about why you think this frame is so great.
Hello and thank you for your comment!
I have a video review of the bike before the upgrade that I did a few years ago but if people can stand to listen to me talk about this bike some more I’d love to! Ha ha
Stand by for more T1SL videos! 😅 Thank you again and please do like and subscribe for more! 👍🏻
@@reginaldscot165 Is it possible to fit 28mm tyres on T1SL? I know the website says "optimized for 25mm". Just wondering if you can get away with 28mm.
Pretty much my dream bike, one day....
Thank you, I hope you get it… it really is a dream!
Looks really good but I would feel guilty about not complying with UCI rules during my amateur training rides. I’d be tempted to add some weight blocks to a saddle bag to comply 😂
Ah well here is the clever part! I have a steel bike for training that’s 8.5kg. 😁
Thank you for the comment!
Not a lot of views, but these are great.

I appreciate that, thank you. 🙏🏻
so such a nice frame, really nice to see too... see now this is a ti-frame with high numbers mate :) how is going absorbing bumps etc? Is certainly stiffer than normal grade we see everywhere... best regards
Thank you. I did a 205km ride on it with no pain, I didn’t even feel that tired. That more than I can say for the other guys on the carbon and aluminium bikes that day… they couldn’t even stand up straight!
It’s fantastic, it’s not the softest titanium ride, but if you want performance with comfort nothing comes close. 👍🏻🙂
Great video mate !!! I have just one question, where did you bought your frame ??
I got it shipped to Brunei as i was selling Litespeed’s 🙂 Thank you, I appreciate your comment 👍🏻❤️
Nice build!!!
Where did you get that SRAM Red group set?
Thank you! 😍 From my local SRAM dealer. 🙂

It’s not electronic and it’s rim brakes. I didn’t think they made those anymore.
I been having the t1sl disc for about a year came in with HED ardeness wheels and ultegra components. Bike feels a lil slower then my previous entry level bike which was a 2016 gaint contend with pr2 wheel set made by gaint. T1sl feels good but i feel that i need to unlock its full potential i think the wheels may be holding me back. What wheel set would you recommend for fast riding on the t1sl??
Rim brake.🙃
Are titanium bike like this one good to uphill or only for flat road ? Very nice bike !
Hello! They are the best at everything. Especially the Litespeed T1SL. It’s literally the world’s best bike. (In my opinion. I have ridden a lot of top end bikes and I don’t think much comes close to how good this frame is.) and at less than 6.6kg yes it’s good up hill. 😁👍🏻
@@reginaldscot165 Thx a lot !This bike is georgeous.
Of all the bikes you've had what is your favorite one?
Out of all the bikes I’ve owned and all the customers bikes I’ve ridden… This and the Litespeed T2.
🙂 The Litespeed T1SL is the world’s best bike frame. (In my opinion)
I have a soft spot for my previous T2. A very good bike, almost perfect.
@@reginaldscot165 Thanks, is the T1SL uncomfortable for longer rides? I've a Lynskey R150 but I feel it's a little bit flexy
@@MegaXtc11 No, I did 205km on it in a single ride without any discomfort at all. It’s just the T2 is a little more plush. 🙂
Dear Reginald,
Last Sunday i was riding in a bunch of 20 riders, most of them using disc brakes (of course!😏)
When it started to rain, a very strange effect occurred, which Made me think if this could be a topic for your next video: „Disc braking in the wet“
What happened: Every time we stopped (e.g. at red lights) the Discs of my fellow riders produced an awful, horrendously loud noise! Really disgusting and it was the first time i expierenced that because i am doing most of my training rides solely. My rim brakes on Aluminium remained totally silent.
If the brakes of my car would make such a terrible Sound i‘d immediately rush to a garage to service them! The noise of those brakes was a VERY loud squealing and screaming. Shall this be technical progress? And we were ONLY stopping down on flat roads, descelerating from 35 to 40 km/h. What about breaking in the mountains?
I think this is a topic the bike marketing industry remains silent about.
Disc brakes on Road Bikes? Maybe, but definitely not in wet conditions!
I have a video in the pipeline on this subject and yes that is definitely one thing I will discuss. 😁👍🏻 Thanks and safe riding!
How much was the complete builup? Beautiful bike!!
Thank you kindly! 🙏🏻
Difficult to say to be honest, I’d have to sit down and work it out because I have had the frame/some parts for a few years and only recently upgraded the final parts to make this bike. Also some things have changed in price, like the frame is 1000BND cheaper now. And I didn’t pay full price for anything because I run a bike shop so I got a good % off everything.
I’d say somewhere between $9,000 and $13,000 BND paying full list price. So that’s $9,700 USD at worst? But Litespeed often have sales as do online sellers and local bike shops so if you want to build something like this it will be less. 🙂👍🏻
Hi reginald do you know of anyone that has the latest gravel litespeed toscano and can give a review on ride feel compare to other ti gravel bikes of the past thanks in advance
Nope, 🤷🏻♂️ But their gravel bikes always get good reviews, I don’t imagine you’d be disappointed. 😉
Hi what do u think of the litespeed spezia vs this frame
It makes me angry. 😅 It’s only in disc 👎🏻 and they got rid of the engraved head badge in favour of a welded on one that will just fill up with dust. It looks terrible.
They say it’s their lightest disc frame of all time, (I checked and didn’t see a frame weight on the website a few weeks ago) well then make it in rim and make the lightest rim frame of all time and I’d buy it!
@Reginald Scot I see haha.. any other titanium brands u recommend? Have u check out serk titanium?
Btw, what size is the frame?
55cm top tube. 👍🏻
do you have one of these for sale?
I still have 1 frame set (currently built up as a 6.8kg bike) in size XS.
nice bike except sram red :(
What would you prefer? 🙂 I was a shimano guy but I’m actually liking the red a lot. ❤️
