That explains a few seatpost size queries on Parkpre Ti frames
PARKPRE, Proelite TITANIUM 1994 **new pic p.8**
- Thread starter stinus
- Start date
the decals seems to be 1994 or 95
Peter Loncarevich was rideing for parkpre from 93 to 95
is not the cataloged 1994 model
is not in any of the litespeed catalogs
the sleeve in the seattube is Ti
the tested model in the Petersen's Bicycle guide - February 1994 looks like it has 3 or 4 holes in the dropout like mine(pic on page three) - but the teck list says it has a 27.0 post
http://parkpre.com/reviews/Pro Elite 1994.pdf
-might it be a prototype of the 1994 model or the 1995 model?

Hey Chris,
I'll have to ask my Dad but I think Pete's bike might have been an early Ti sample frame from the manufacturer. The Litespeed frames were the first generation Ti frames before we went to Asia and yes they definitely have better craftsmanship. I think the USA frames were only done one year. The last frame with the holes in the dropouts I believe is the production frame from Asia.
I'll let you know if I find out some more info.

Good work there rekiborter!
i'm in a seatpost dilema now, i found a 28.6>27.2 shim so i can fit one of the fine post i stock, the one i got one now has 4cm of setback, and thats to much
but i have three options:
a black syncros, close to zero setback
a titanium syncros, close to zero setback
a black controleteck, 2cm setback
Ti is nice.. but i like the look of the blackposts? what to do?

Build it how you want it. Don't be guided by anyone here, it is your bike. That is why every Pro Elite on RB is different.
i did, the syncros Ti is a really nice post but a ti post in a ti frame is a littel to much for me, so i ended whit the black 7075 syncros and a WTB ti saddel.
the Collar from justbackdated is in place and so is the seatpost shim.
pictures of the (for now) final build will come soon.
