Having studied all my old Litespeed brochures I think it's either a 1997 Obed, 1997 Hiwassee or 1998 Obed.
Definitely not an Ocoee as your frame doesn't have the pierced rear dropouts. No earlier than 1997 as no canti cable stop on the seat tube & no later than 1998 as doesn't have the 'kicked up' chainstays that were introduced in 1999.

Either way it's a lovely Ti frame & a very good price, would be adding this to my fleet but no christmas bonus this year

EDIT: ignore the above - just checked the additional photos in your <97 bike thread & it's got riveted on alloy cable stops (but missing the rear welded canti stop on the seat tube :? ) so it's definitely a 1994 Obed. The 1994 Ocoee had welded on cable stops.

Cheers. Thanks for the info.

nice frame...can only v-brakes (no cantis) be used because of the missing canti-stop? do you know if the geometry of the frame is suspension corrected? thanks.

There is no canti bridge, but you could use a seat post noodle.

She is suspension corrected.
