About Frames - Road

Road frames have come a long way in recent years with new advancements in technology and materials. Carbon fibre, aluminium and titanium are all widely used now as well as the more traditional steel tubesets. They all have their own advantages: aluminium offers good performance at a reasonable price, titanium offers ultimate performance at a premium price while carbon fibre offers superb comfort and performance at intermediate cost. It is not uncommon for the materials to be mixed to give the benefits of all the materials in one frame - a carbon fibre rear end on an aluminium frame, for example. Here at Wiggle we list a selection of road frames to suit most budgets, from the affordable aluminium frames right up to the technically advanced carbon and titanium frames from leading manufacturers.

About the Litespeed brand

Everything else in the world moves faster today, why shouldn't you and your bike? Whether you are a world-class Euro racer, a blood-n-mud junkie, or you just ride to the office - you want to do it faster. Litespeed understands. Everything they do at Litespeed centers around the need to go faster. For more than 20 years, they have continually refined and redefined frame building technology. By using only aerospace quality materials and sophisticated design processes, they create the benchmarks of high performance bicycle frames. They love what they do. You might even say they border on "fanatical". But, their love affair with the notion of going faster pushes them to push the envelope. That's why you won't find a more perfect blend of materials, geometry and componentry than in a Litespeed Bicycle. Cycling is their passion and speed is their obsession.
