1997 Litespeed...15 yrs in the making

[anim8]

Hey guys...I'm new here but wanted to share my latest build. A 1997 Litespeed Hiwassee built from parts that I 've been collecting for the past 15 years. I've been riding the components on a few bikes (pro-flex 857, mid 90's norco nitro, a trek 970) and they have now landed on their final resting place...the Litespeed.
