OK, sure. I acquiesce. I'm just remembering this one gal I knew who had a EM Ti bike (it even had, as I recall, a decal that read "Made by Litespeed" on it), and I couldn't see a whole lotta difference from a Classic I had at the time. Guess I didn't look close enough. I also owned a Litespeed "Team Issue" that had an ovalized down tube...hmmmm. Jeff N.
