Titanium frame identification help needed

owenB · Jan 12, 2016

I'm looking at rebuilding a titanium frame but I'd like to dress it up in period kit so I need some help with a rough year and who made it. I'm told it could be ti-max or Saracen but I'm not sure. No markings on the frame, no numbers can be seen throughout!!!

Any suggestions?

Re:

It's a funny one...dropouts and cable stops are definitely hinting at early nineties Litespeed to me. Definitely not a Kili or Serotta though. Are there any frame numbers?

Re:

Thanks, definitely no markings at all but to me it feels a nice quality frame, all the welds are lovely and it's been done with some love. Litespeed would be nice but still to find a answer that I can get a photo of the bike/frame and honestly say it's the same!

Perhaps I'll never know...mmmmmm.

Was a chap on mtbr who had a ti ride with same dropouts but I dont think he ever found out what it was either, suggestions of Diamond back and Dean were made

Re:
