Not sure on this one if it is a Litespeed. Can you guys tell? I may go get it tomorrow. Help me out here, should I go grab it? Looks like my size.

$375 for a complete ti bike!

yes, get it.
I am trying to but all I get is his voice mail. The fork looks worn but I just want the frame.
Bought it, the frame is in outstanding condition. Looks like it was hanging up there for a long time. Cables are all rusted but the chain is new and the rings are new. I think he was going to rebuild it and gave up. Wheels have white industries hubs. The fork actually works perfect. Top tube is a little longer than I would like but maybe with a shorter stem it will work for me.

Not sure but I believe it is a litespeed. The seat stay decal says litespeed and Merlins usually have a satin or rough looking finish while this bike is shiny and smooth to the touch.
