Litespeed Taliani bike review

Litespeed produced the Taliani bike in 1998 and can be classified as a Tandem bicycle, this exact model costs in american market arround $6,750.00.
Litespeed Tandem Taliani can be found in one single color which is Brushed.
This bike is equiped with 700 x 30c 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 600 Ultegra levers braking system and Hope Technology hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Litespeed used 3Al/2.5V titanium, double-butted 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, 32/44/54 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to Shimano CN-HG90 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Litespeed, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano 600 Ultegra STI Dual Control gear shift levers.
