My first titanium, and what a find!!
Back Story.... Ever since I did my school work experience at a LBS, I have lusted after something titanium, namely an early Litespeed as someone came into the shop with one and I basically fell in love!
Fast forward 25 years and I’m finally in a position to start looking for my first love again! I saw this advertised on eBay as a Litespeed Pisgah, still with original protective frame wrapping on the stays, never built or used. Seemed too good to be true, and a bit odd as no disc mounts, canti rear hanger etc, so i followed this up, got the serial number and spoke to Litespeed....they confirmed it was a 1995 Litespeed Obed, surely a frame doesn't go 22 years without being used or built????
More digging needed....
Turns out this frame was sitting at the back of a London bikeshop for the best part of 2 decades before it was dug out. They decided to stick new decals on it to try and sell it as a more modern model, at which point the guy i bought it from purchased it....and promptly didnt use it!
So finally, it can be built and used as intended!!
Came in the post today, It truly has never been used, totally immaculate!


First job will be get all the decals removed and correct model decals fitted (already ordered from Litespeed)
