Sizing Tip: These Le Champion Titanium bikes have a semi-sloping top tube / semi-compact geometry similar to the Trek Pilot or Specialized Roubaix which have higher headtubes for a more upright position with a lower standover height.

SRAM Apex
This SRAM Apex group is Dangerously close to the world-beating SRAM Red ridden by the top Tour winners. Compare the two shifters, except for the color, they appear to be exactly the same.

Shopping Comparison Guide
Compare the 2013 Le ChampionTi to the any other Trek or Specialized bikes equipped with SRAM Apex group.
Or Litespeed Titanium with Ultegra.

Most SRAM Apex equipped Treks, Specialized Roubaix Comp road bikes List for around $2900 to $2700 + Tax = approx $3200
The LiteSpeed Titanium retails for around $4100 with Shimano Ultegra and SRAM Apex has a similar stated group weight.
The Le Champion Ti is available at a discount for this limited production = $1499 (includes shipping)

Buy the Le Champion Titanium and save over $1600 vs the Trek or Specialized. Save over $2400 vs the Lynskey Titanium

Warranty
Trek is lifetime against defects or a $350 crash credit towards a new frame (approx frame/fork = $2749)
If you crash your Trek or crack the carbon or ding a tube, a replacement Trek road bike frame costs you about $2,400+

The Motobecane Titanium frame has a 100 Year warranty against defects. Titanium is the MOST crash and dent resistant bike material on the market. Carbon fiber or Titanium, which material do you think is easier to crack by accident?

Components
Treks at this price level have housebrand parts and housebrand wheels and heavier Shimano 105 and R600 parts.

The Motobecane has a race-worthy Wheelset and Ritchey components
