Bubba Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Get'cha some vintage iron...well, vintage titanium actually. Bought this early last year from the original owner but haven't ridden--and prolly won't--since I blew my knee out last spring. Litespeed Hiwassee Titanium 26er with top tube cable routing and asymmetric stays, circa mid- to late-90s. Very GC with only minor cosmetic blems; never stored outdoors. Shimano XTR brakes/derailleur, Deore XT crank, LX hubs, Topo stem, RockShox XC30 fork with pre-load adjust/lock-out lever. Rims are straight; IRC Mythos XC tires in fair-good condition; tubes are solid. $135 is cheap for this blast from the past hey-day of MTBing!

Pauly Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Frame size? (please be too big... please be too big) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted May 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Pauly: Truthfully, I have no idea. I rode it once and it fit me fine--5'11" with a 32" inseam, but you can see there's plenty of space for seat drop. If you're shorter than me you might need to swap for a shorter stem. My gut says--based on riding a lot of miles on a number of different bikes way back in the 80s and 90s--it would prolly be a 17-19" (medium?) but not sure. I can measure the distance C-to-T for you...or give me a clue where to find a frame size mark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted May 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 1 hour ago, Pauly said: Frame size? (please be too big... please be too big) C-to-T (center of crank to top of seat tube) measures 19". I'm gonna be at Vintage Week at Mid-O in July if you're interested. You ain't gonna find Ti this low anywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Whew! Too large. Good luck with the sale. That is a nice old-school ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
