What is this bike?!

[Daveys123]

Hey
Just had the nod that this could either be a complete fake or a decent bike, I'm a roady and inherited this too small for me ? Litespeed. It's got decent kit on it but not sure at all!!

The headtube badge looks like handsome dog which was British, although i expect the frames were far eastern. Does a magent stick to the frame ?. That will tell you if its ltitanium and possibly a Litespeed or something else. Im looking at the pics on my phone but I think you will find the magnet sticks so it's a.steel frame.

Thanks for that, yeah steel so basically a bag of nuts then!! Any value in it?

Yes some value, a litespeed would have been a lot more. Looks to be a full Deore LX groupset, Mavic rims and the X-Lite bars. My guess would be perhaps £80 or so as it stands but not much is selling at the moment so I normally sell stuff pretty cheap just to get it gone.

woh there, just cos it's steel doesn't make it a bag of nuts.

the handsome dog XC frame was Tange double butted chmo tubing, and pretty light for it. It was a good ride.

80-100 would be my guess as no one is buying anything right now.

Thanks guys, appreciated!
Best platform to flog it? It's no good to me and tbh I could do with getting rid of it! I'll happily chuck it on at a ton

Is there a frame number? That'd help pin down the year and may help identify it.

Handsome Dog frames were imported and sold by Allterrain Cycles who are now in Saltaire. Decent frames for the money but not worth much now.
