Hey Ed!

Not that I know much about these things compared to 'benandemu' and probably many others, but that rear canti bridge looks very much like, if not identical to, the one on my Marin Team Titanium.

Also they did make them in a 20.5" centre to centre.
The top tube would be 61cm and the steerer tube 18cm.

So have a "Just thought I'd throw that out there-bump" on me.

Cheers,
Andy.

If I'm not mistaken, it might be because both frames were made by Litespeed in good ol Chattanooga, US of A.

Litespeed made all their own minor fittings, so if you see a Litespeed fitting on another brand frame it's a reasonable bet that Litespeed built it for them. Litespeed built Marin ti frames up to 1995, after that they were made by TST. That particular canti bridge was used on Litespeed Titanium Mountains from 1990 to 92, and also features on several frames they made for other brands, including my 1995 KHS (see below).

Yep looks like the one on mine. OK hopefully not upsetting anybody it'll be advertised as Litespeed-built - although I would stand to be corrected if anyone knows better
