1016 Gram 54cm Litespeed Archon frame. At well under 2.5 pounds this frame can rival the weight of any frame on the market. The Wrap technology and 6 series titanium top tube all work together to create a frame that many people consider "too stiff". Too stiff to some can mean perfect frame for sprinters and heavier riders.
One of the most striking features of the Archon is its formed 6AL/4V top tube. The aggresive lines flow seamlessly into the Wrap welds that connect the top tube, down tube, and steer tube into one massive junction.
A nice feature also found on Colnago and Orbea, are the steer tube located cable brazes. While it seems small this is a nice touch that keeps your cable housings from rubbing the paint off your frame and headset.
With external bottom brackets pretty much the standard now, the bottom bracket shell's tolerances are becoming increasingly important. This frames bottom bracket and headset shells were already faced to very tight tolerances. While this should be common place, it is actually surprisingly rare, and welcome....
The stainless steel seat tube liner not only helps combat galvanic response, but also makes the creaking associated with older titanium frames a thing of the past.
