That will be the custom build link when the application is up and ready. You can contact using the contact field or buy through a retailer. We will have that portion of the site working by the end of the month. Thank you for all of the feedback guys. SuperiorLite Bikes always wants to hear their customers and perspective customers feedback in how they can improve and build the business. I only partnered with them to do their website and site after I rode all of their products. I was so impressed with their products at their prices especially, that I had my bike build as to what I could afford at the time and started working with them after that. I will let you guys know when direct shopping is available. He was waiting for all of the new product to come in before making people wait a month or so before they get their stuff.
Thanks again everyone! -Kevin |

I have the post, if you are looking for weight. I will let you know. I am switching out my saddle *I believe* depending on weight tomorrow anyways. |
Their bikes are way out of my price range.
|
Oooooh. Nice looking bikes. I love this color. I've been eyeballing the Madone 5.2, but that Cat2/Ultegra build looks mighty sweet. http://www.superiorlitebikes.com/201...ame-Green1.jpg.
|
I will tell you. After seeing the bike in person, I liked even more. That is one of those colors that is impossible for a camera to do it justice.
|
These shoes would match it perfectly too.

any info on the handlebars/stem combo? stem length/rise? Those look really sweet to me.
|
Is that pricing a joke? $7K for a complete bike with no-name wheels and cockpit? That's more than a Red-equipped 2012 Cervelo R5.

OK, so on the website it says that the bikes are assembled in the USA. Are the frames made in Asia then and the bikes are put together here?
|
All the prices are insane. $2500 for a generic carbon frame, Rival and low end wheelset.

Obviously, there will always be skeptics. Ride what people sell you. The frames are designed here in the states sourced to TAIWAN not CHINA and without saying too much are actually made in the same factory and by some of the same hands as these cervelos you speak of. But anyways. They are then all shipped back here and assembled and built up.
Definitely. NOT a BD style business. But then again, representatives of BD wouldn't dare reply to peoples questions. The pricepoint is actually what seems to be drawing much of their new riders to the bikes. When you are actually comparing apples to apples and not a generic, Chinese frame. I happen to know that SL is working on a deal with an Italian race team who shows interest over their current cervelo's. |

Best of luck to them, but their prices are absolutely outrageous for a company that nobody's ever heard of. I like to see the little guy succeed as much as the next guy (I did, after all, own a Flyte myself), but seriously--those prices are WAY out of whack for a basically generic frame coming out of Taiwan. I have no idea why I'd pay brick-and-mortar prices for an obscure Taiwanese "Elite" bike when I can grab the Madone 6.7 SSL from the good folks at my LBS 5 minutes down the road--for the exact same price. There's just no incentive to choose them.
|
Yeah, I just don't understand what separates them from the dozen or so other brands that do the exact same thing.
Well, except that their graphics are terrible and their branding needs some serious help. |
To each is own. We will be at http://www.interbike.com/ in Vegas. You can look us up on their walk in Brochures if any of you guys go. I have worked at Trek shops as well as Specialized and Giant and Fuji. (Just doing normal bike wrench stuff) I can tell you, SuperiorLite is proud to not be a Trek. But, like most people. Ride what you can find.
From a customer standpoint, I have owned quite a few bikes and dealt with quite a few shops. Each brand has it's ups and downs. All I know is, Ive ridden Trek, Cervelo, Specialized, Giant, Bianchi, Willier, Orbeas, etc... I wouldn't be riding the bike I do, if I simply didn't like it better. I bought my bike before I had any personal ties to the company and price was definitely one of the deciding factors when I ordered it. Looking at all of the bikes you guys just mentioned, both in person and now on the interwebs, the pricing is all right around each other. I am a little confused as to the price hounding. I am sure everybody would like to ride that Madone SSL for FAR less than retail but there is a reason very few get that opportunity. I'm just saying, I don't think I could have built my bike for less when actually comparing the quality of the frames. Wasn't it Soloist complaining about the quality of the new Cervelo's? |
