This bike is equiped with 700 x 32c IRC Tandem tires and Wheelsmith stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Mavic T 217 SUP, 40-hole. Litespeed equiped this exact model with Shimano Deore XT M-System brakes, Shimano Ultegra STI levers braking system and Hope Technology hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Litespeed used 3Al/2.5V titanium with 6Al/4V titanium material for the frame. TTT Forma 2 high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Taliani to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Control Tech.
For the smoothest biking experience Ritchey Tandem, 26/38/54 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to Shimano CN-HG92 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Litespeed, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano Dura-Ace STI Dual Control gear shift levers.
