1992 Litespeed dream build

I've been meaning to share more build threads, but I rarely document my projects step by step and time is always short. With that said, I couldn't not share this one. It’s simply too good to keep to myself 😅

This bike just came to me straight from Second Spin Cycles, so I can’t take any credit for the build.
The original owner went all-in with a truly over-the-top spec with full Litespeed componentry, M900 and titanium hardware.

I will give everything a light cleaning and reassemble it. I can't wait to show you the details and progress to full build.
Many of you may have already seen the full build before, but I still think it deserves another round of appreciation.

I was actually hunting for a fork for another Litespeed build when this complete bike popped up. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to jump on it.
I was pretty nervous about the shipping, but it arrived safe and sound. The box was opened multiple times by customs who didn't bother to put things back in the inner box, just threw it in the large box nor properly taping the box together. Somehow, nothing was lost or damaged. Huge relief.

More pics to come as I get it fully back together.

Got the frameset up in the stand today for a light cleaning and polish with Autosol.

Starting to go through the details. The entire M900 groupset has matching September 1991 date codes (code PI). Pretty incredible to see everything line up.

One of my favorite little details: a full set of SRP titanium chainring bolts - lightened with unusually large bore-outs, and SRP titanium crank bolts.

Bottom bracket is a Litespeed titanium.
