Basso titanium

Hello , I just picked this up today.
any info about it? only thing I could find is possibly a Litespeed? Needs some dialing in . The gears in the back seem to skip when I have it in the lower chain ring. Possibly new seat, and post ,pedals and higher stem . Its my first titanium, I only rode steel
thanks..

Googling does seem to indicate it's a Litespeed. Nice find if so!

It looks a lot like my 1997 Litespeed Catalyst.

Thanks for the pic.
The dropouts , bottom bracket area and the rear mount for the brakes definitely look the same .
I test road it a bit with some pedals I had, and definitely seems to ride nice. Still have to dial in the fit and seat. PS much lighter bike than my steel vintage bikes I had and have ...
