Austrian Litespeed Find

Well for the purposes of photography the Litespeed is done. A few niggles to sort out ( principly the TNT freehub which is not freehubbing so needs a strip down. Pics below with the specs.

Entered....Freehub sorted. The cassette spacer wasn't thick enough so the lock ring was impinging on the freehub. Was hoping for a "Secret click" on the wishbone shifters but no such luck🤨

Stunning!!

Some nice touches, great build :cool:
 
Awesome! Do you have a final weight? I would be curious since you have all that titanium in the (near) final build. Did you weigh the frame when completely stripped down?

You mention a serial number conundrum: I have "heard" that Litespeed will look up your old serial number for a "fee" and provide you relevant info within a few days to a week. Would be interesting to pursue? I think they even know who welded the frame by the SN, day/month/year welded, planetary alignmemt and a few other factoids.
