Re:

I think it's a GT lightning for some reason? Still Ti but they were sold with mediocre components to make them more affordable. I could be wrong, often am, Gm's the GT expert he'll know at a glance.

I think you may be right - its the finish, that beadblasted look. If I remember correctly, Xizangs are polished, but Gm will confirm to be sure.

Lightning end caps, or at least some of them, have 3 AL 2.5 V stamped too.
