Litespeed used to use 1 1/4' headtubes which they then added alloy sleeves to take them down to 1" or 1 1/8". Possibly one of those with the shims removed? They also had bullet ends

right need to get a pic up then sounds possible as the head tube does look kind of unfinished.still sharp around the inside edge etc.

My TiMega has a 1/4 headtube, but you would recognize it is an AlpineStars.

I seem to remember the ti american flyer was 1.25:?: i've got the mba review somewhere, i'll check.. it was litespeed built

What's the frame number? If it's a Sandvik, (bullet style dropouts), the first one or two letters should give it away...

didnt titan 1/2 trac also have an option for 1.25? obviously you'd recognise that frame a mile off

early gary fisher frames were 1 1/4 too :?:

Yeah,Fisher invented the whole 11/4" thing.

only numbers on the bike are on the drive side dropout they are stamped in two stages 0074 then T9311.
I took the frame in to betd to get some reducers fitted to the headtube and one of the blokes there said he thought it could be a fisher.
i forgot to say that it is lacquered.ta for the imput.
