1995 Litespeed Obed

Dodging the rain all day so didn’t hang around too long.

Waiting on a stem now to fit my Litespeed bars and a rear m900 hub arriving then I’ll build up a set of gold Mavic’s I have waiting. Possibly fit mu Ti U.S.E post as well.

Instantly better with the sl ti and m900 groupo

The Pace raises too much the front messing the geo of the bike.

It rode so much nicer with the RC36 Evo II fork and newer brake and groupset, and with the Billy Bonkers it was unbelievably fast as a street bike.

Unfortunately it has all but bankrupt my “fun fund float” so may have to go once completed. Just to decide if to split or chance it complete.
I’ve sold a bike to a buyer in China who’s change his mind about bike he bought off me and has put in a claim through eBay sayings it’s damaged and unfortunately the return shipping is more than that bike is worth so looks like I’ve lost out nearly £400 to him

There are shorter travel Pace forks available

I just didn’t feel a British Pace fork was fitting on a US frame.

Little update today. U.S.E titanium seat post fitted along with a slightly better condition saddle and managed to finally place the LS bars I’ve had sat on a clockwork since the mid 90’s with the aid of a Thomson stem.
