This bike has an interesting story, it is in the Litespeed product records as a 1992 56cm Ultimate which it clearly isn’t. Litespeed is not interested in helping me figure out what the story behind this is but another collector and I put together that the dropouts are correct for a ‘92 but the decals were replaced at some point.
It also has a broken rear canti stud that I’m planning on fixing eventually.
This is my do everything bike but it’s winter duties are limited to when it is warm enough to not need bar mitts, which are installed on my Bike Friday All Packa with an e assist.
