I've decided to split my frame set up, so everything in the pics now has a seperate price, the seat collar will go with the frame. All prices are posted in the UK, as stated before any interest outside the UK postage will need to be adjusted.


Cheers




I've decided to sell my old Litespeed frame, seems daft for it to be collecting dust when someone can enjoy it. I bought this frame set to replace my old AMP B3 as I wanted to keep the design, but wanted something a bit more robust, at the time nothing was around until MBA had a test on one of these, so just had to get one. Its a 1998 model, the second and last year they built them before all the Horst Link litigation kicked off in the states. For your money you will be getting everything that you see in the photos, that is:

17" Litespeed Hiwassee frame made from 3/2.5 Ti with square section ally rear end with RS Deluxe rear shock. Cook bros. Seat QR £280

Answer Mantiou X Vert Forks. £35

FSA Orbit Extreme Headset £15

Profile Ti Stem £45

Easton EA70 seatpost £15

XT F. mech £15

If anyone from further afield is interested delivery can be arranged for extra.

how much travel on rear suspension , and what is biggest fork you can stick on the front , travel wise ?
 
Its 3" travel at the rear and it'd be ok with a 4" travel fork, could prob get away with a 5" travel if needs be, I used to run my old B3 with a set of Z1s up font and it handled ok.
 
Nice. I wonder if there is an air shock that would fit, a few Ti bolts for the pivots and could be a 5lb frame...

If I had the money I'd buy this without hesitation.

Have free 'schweet frame dude' bump on me :wink:
 
what is condition of the shock , does it a service , any play in the suspension etc.... ?

would you sell , without the forks ? if yes , how much ?
 
oh man that is nice. Whats the effective top tube length? Is 17" the seat tube measurement centre to centre? Also interested on shock and pivot condition?
