1991 Litespeed Mountain Titanium

[GT-Steve]

Vury vury nace.

loose the DEAN post. I think even a no name brand plain jane Ti seatpost would look better.

Sweet fork. I wasn't aware Litespeed made a rigid Ti fork. Can you tell us anything about it? Years it was made? history? etc

Cheers

Cheers

The DEAN stays until I find the appropriate Litespeed replacement

Here's a link to the 91 Litespeed catalogue scan: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/mai ... 010633384b so you can see the forks,

and here's a pic of the bike, in the catalogue...

It's lookin good Steve....Glad this one has gone to a good home....

Cheers Drew, means a lot..

very nice build! only issue is you need to reign in all that extra cable housing used on the front end. :shock:

Yep, I'll be addressing the length some time soon, but for the moment I think I'll just ride and enjoy it.....

 

[marin man]

Christ.....them cables are long stevie.....

Only kidding mate like it

Very nice indeed Steve, for me the Mythos and black Flite combo make the frame/fork really stand out. Plus the cables give plenty of space for hanging your sweaty jersey to dry after a hard ride

27.2 x 220mm

probably too short, but here it is FYI.

Cheers, spotted that, but sadly these earlier frames were 27.0.

I've tried a 27.2 in there but it's tighter than .....(insert suitable metaphor here )

This is amazing.

What a fantastic build! And very cool that you showed us your bike with white and black stuff (show vs. class?). I like both, but if it were mine (and I wish it was, only a bit smaller frame size ) I would go for the classy black stuff. That goes better with the titanium IMHO.

Re:

Love it! Actually I'm working on a 91 Litespeed mtb as well. Did you have any difficulty with the rear brake spring pin hole not lining up with your cantilever brakes?
