Back in maybe May, when I started riding again during lockdown, I got it in my head that I wanted a 2000-2001 Litespeed Ultimate frame to build up, like I'd built up the Battaglin back in 2007. I combed Ebay and Craigs List. There was one on Craigslist - right age, right size, right price. I dawdled. It sold. Nothing came up for a few weeks, so I started looking more broadly. I started looking at current road bikes, for the first time since 2008. I ended up getting the Canyon Endurace, which I love. Discs, lots of gears, comfy, etc. It's what got me back into Bike Forums.
Didn't miss the Litespeed at all! Until just now.
Checked Craigs List on a whim. There's a 2001 Litespeed Utimate. Size 59 - just my size. $1300. Hard to justify a FIFTH bike, even if I DO have the scratch. Guess I'll dawdle and miss this one, too!
