Litespeed frame vintage and model?

ylwgto · Dec 31, 2015

cannot figure it out. not the early 90s logo and also not the mid 90s slanted logo. went throughout all the catalogs on tirides.com and cannot find any names that match up with the double "ss" in the marred model decal on the top tube. I've had many litespeeds, but none that looked like this. maybe it's obvious, but I'm stumped.

happy new year!

The marred sticker spells team issue if you stand on your head

Re:

Reading between the internet lines, the "Team Issue" was basically a Competitive Cyclist "special" that was a cross between the classic and Tuscany models.

Age is probably late 90's- early 2000s.

No promises I used to have an a paper catalogue for them from that period will have a look

Sorry no luck in finding the catalogue but I remember the shop{one of the early big mail order places}sponsoring a pro team that did the American circuit with members that were either the new generations or those that had drifted down a bit. The 'shop' would of shifted huge units they didn't offer huge selection of brands but we're pretty on the ball, the period iam thinking of was litespeed models and Ritchey and alloy Fondriest
