Here is my first bike titanium. I never had the opportunity to approach and touch the famous frame litespeed. It is always sweet and hot after 17 years.

I look for a fork which would be fine. The fork 21 mag as originally but I chose an amp F3 to paste a rear base AMP

Now I can finally start the project because I will receive the fork tube longer :lol:

Nice project and perfect fork choice. Try and get hold of a seatstay brace for the rear end (such as the TWP one) as ths AMP back end is pretty flexy without.

Or u-brake :P
I found a mini group Campagnolo Euclid. Even if it was produced late 80 'early 90' and that is not consistent with the year of the frame, I think that it will be fine.

LOL! Good luck getting the U-Brakes on there. They're heavy and clumsy anyway.
