Struggling to find a xs/s frame road bike locally and FB marketplace has this Litespeed Ti, which obviously for that price is a pretty good deal, 150 miles away. Would you do it? Or does it look like it's gonna be a project and not worth a whole day of driving?
The scattante is local. Thoughts?

Would
Probably the local Scattante but you did not mention the price.
Absolutely
If it fit me…. Can you request proof of life?
I would ride 10 easily.
I’d pay the 350 for the litespeed but I wouldn’t do the drive to do it, in case once there you find something is wrong with it. A long way to come home empty handed
absolutely, for that price.
Good price for the Litespeed. Depends on what you want though. You’ll have a rim brake mechanical shifting bike with max 25 mm of tire clearance…if you just wanna ride it, then it’s a good deal, otherwise not worth it as a rebuild. Dated tech.
No. The price of factory classic titanium frames is rapidly dropping on the used market. This ain’t as good a deal as you think.
You can also ride 150 miles, it will be fun!
Where do you live that 150 miles is 6 hours??
I would drive further for the litespeed, if it was my size.
Someone locally was selling a similar year and model, in my size, for $1000. JUST THE FRAME.
I wouldn’t. A triplet with threaded headset and wheels that say “replace us please”. It is outdated no matter what. $350 is a lot for what it is. You can get a modern small titanium frame from China for the money and Litespeed logo on it if so inclined. The rest is not worth having
I wouldn’t drive 1 min.
I would absolutely make that drive. This bike is worth every penny, plus all the gas, and extra food, and the time off work; a bargain.
