Litespeed Spezia
It’s an unending quest to develop a road bike that is balanced, defined, and pure in its efficiency. A whirlwind of machinery and physics that makes every element of the ride—the long climbs, the serpentine descents, the unending rollers, the unending miles on pancake flat roads that vanish onto the horizon—an unmitigated joy. Marrying Litespeeds finest technologies and capabilities, creating a new hallmark in all-around high-performance road riding: the Spezia.
The Spezia brings aerospace grade titanium road bike construction to its absolute performance zenith. All Spezia tubesets—each with wall thicknesses adjusted in-house to meet exacting size-specific parameters—must exceed aerospace grade tolerances—and meet Litespeeds precise weight standard before accepted for production.
The centerpiece of the Spezia is a true Litespeed exclusive technology: our 6AL/4V sheet-formed titanium top tube. Handcrafted from a flat sheet into a tubeset, 6AL/4V sheet top tube is lighter than a standard tube yet delivers greater tensile strength. The result is increased rigidity when climbing and sprinting. The Spezia’s front-end stiffness also allows it to track with confident control on descents.
Litespeed’s shaping prowess is on full display with the seatstays that are ovalized for drag reduction. A triaxially-ovalized downtube that is multi-shaped in a way only Litespeed can achieve. It yields a larger diameter weld point at the bottom bracket, resulting in greater power transfer capability and greater efficiency when driving on the flats or out of saddle on ascents. Focused on even the smallest details, including a CNC-crafted two-piece shell disc brake mount make for a surface that’s lighter and stronger than anything a 3D printed titanium product can achieve.
Every advantage that the Spezia represents is on full display; from the externally butted headtube to shaping. It’s all there for you to behold.
The Spezia is finished in a true modern performance geometry with tire clearance to 35mm, lowered chainstays, a minimally elevated stack for proper ride height, and a snug rear triangle for sweet-spot balance, whether climbing or descending.

All of our bike prices include pro-assembly.
One of our highly experienced pro-bike specialist mechanics will build your bike, then test ride it in the parking lot to verify everything works flawlessly. We will then remove the rear wheel, seat post, and front stem plate for shipping. Your bike will be packed for shipment in a manner that fully eliminates any possibility of arriving to you in less than perfect condition. Once you have your new bike, simply install the front wheel, slide in the seat-post/seat, and attach the stem front plate. You will be ready to ride or race in minutes.
The selection of the correct size frame (and stem, bars, cranks, etc.) is a crucial aspect of the road-bike buying experience.
We will contact you once you have placed your order to discuss and verify the sizes of each item that you need. Once you receive your new bike, ride it for a week or two and verify that you are comfortable with your chosen stem length, bar width, and crank length. If not, you may exchange any of these items for another size, as long as they are returned in as-new condition. (As-new, meaning: unblemished in any way other than bar-tape residue, pedal installation marks on the cranks, etc.) We will then rush you the size that you desire of the item, and sell the returned item as a test-ridden item at our retail store. If desired, we will provide a full comprehensive bike fitting free with any bike purchase. We work with the sizing system from of our favorite full-custom frame builder, Moots. Just go to moots.com and print out their highly comprehensive sizing questionnaire (with very detailed, easy-to-use instructions and pictures.) You will then be contacted by one of our in-house sizing specialists. We welcome all of your questions on any and all aspects of the sizing process when you are purchasing a frame or bike from us!
