NOS Latido CT301 Carbon Ti

[Jamis Diablo]

I bought this NOS frame about a year ago and still no idea what to do with it.
But I could show it in the meantime don't I.

Little hint: is a carbon wrapped Ti frame from 1992.
I'm curious if anyone knows this.

Is it a Latido?

Yes it is a Latido (I now see it has decals on the seatstay )
Never heard of it before and very little info on the net.
It is a nice mix of materials, the main tubes are carbon wrapped over Ti to make it stronger and less vulnerable for impact.
The lugs are alloy and the rear triangle and forks are steel to add some comfort.
It has some pivot points, so I guess the rear flex is sustainable.

Here are some more pics:

Re: Latido CT301 Carbon Ti (any info wanted)

really, really interesting. Any plans to build it up?

No plans yet, as a matter of fact I diceded to sell it.
I got this nearly a year and keep thinking about how to build it up and don't start with it.
I hoped showing it here would start the spark, but no...
I guess I think it is a pitty to ride a NOS frame.

Funny to see this tread and you’re not knowing what to do with this beauty. I got the same frame set and have some nos Spins in team colour (tires are only to prevent it from damage). Slowly it’s getting close to be build. Plan is to build it with only new components so collecting slowly but steady a full nos XTR M900 group with post and headset. Lots of yellow parts (but NOT those tires!)
