Okay, so now it appears that all the new text is lifted directly from www.litespeed.com For example

"Considered an exotic material at that time, titanium was not thought to be a material from which one could build bike frames."

" Litespeed changed the world's expectations towards titanium with the creation of the first modern titanium frames."

"With the end of the Cold War and the sudden availability of alloys no longer restricted to use in nuclear and aviation industries, interest in titanium as a viable bike-building material grew."

etc.

I believe I have no option but to revert all of it. -AndrewDressel (talk) 02:48, 22 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Awesome, now all we need is to edit so that it doesn't read like marketing copy and find reliable independent sources for the interesting claims. -AndrewDressel (talk) 19:46, 23 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
