help identify this Ti frame

I'm having trouble identifying this bike, I got it from a friend he thinks its a Seven or Litespeed, I googled, but haven't seen one like this from either of those brands. The head badge says New Belgium Brewing, I know that's fat tire and I guess it was just stuck there by someone along the way along with bunch of other random stickers

thanks for your help.

looks like an ibis (i say this because of the word "mojo" on it, and ibis made ti bikes there for a while)

Looks like a Litespeed manufactured frame built for another small brand. The center pull canti housing stop on the wishbone seatstay dates it to 1993-1995.

i contacted Litespeed and they said it wants theirs, they suggested Ibis or Fat Chance. looks like a Fat Chance from the the other Ive seen at a quick google glance.

Not an Ibis or Fat Chance with those dropouts.


The answer given to you by Litespeed/ABC doesn't suprise me. They know almost nothing about the products produced before the company changed hands.

Post some photos of it here, they're pretty good with ID's on old MTB's.

Looks very similar to this



Some photos of a later model Raleigh that doesn't have the cantilever brake cable housing stop on the seat stay:

I think Cobba found it.


Here's a review of the Tomac version. The article mentions it was made by Litespeed.
