Litespeed Ocoee 1995 - Gravel conversion.

[pietromx]

In the picture you could see the clearance with a 35c tyre. With Pirelli 40c gravel M tyre (that measures 42 on my rims) it’s about 6mm on top and 14mm on every side.

Ooh! That's plenty.
Looked closer than that.
I tried a similar idea with 650bx47's & it was really tight.

Did you weld an adapter for the brake to the frame and use this flat mount adapter to use the disc brake?

Thanks for reply my friend.

Welded... about 13-14 years ago by a titanium bike builder (Rewel)

Here is my fool Gravel conversion of a Litespeed Ocoee I bought in december '94.
In 2018 I destroyed my last suspension fork (an old sid modified to have 60mm travel).
And so fork has been replaced with a Whisky part n°9 Cx carbon fork. and the 26' wheels with new 700c Mavic wheels...
After all, I'm happy with this new old bike.

Did the frame come with a rear drop out setup for disk brakes? Reason I ask, I have a '94 Ocoee and would love to add front and rear disk but the frame isn't setup from the factory. :-(

Thanks ahead.

As you can see in my #18 post… I welded it… or better…. I asked to a Titanium bike welder (Rewel) to do it!
You could see the adapter welded to the frame in the picture. And he did a great job IMHO.
