That's EXACTLY what the plan was, but the wife's car killed an engine this morning...so it might have shifted

The Litespeed is a MTB, 135 rear spacing, 18inch ctc ST, 22 inch with the slant TT. I don't have much experience measuring slanted TTs, so I'm not sure how to give an effective TT length. I'm assuming it's the measurement of the TT IF it were straight across. It's a VERY cool frame, and I think it would make the ultimate SS winter beater.
I have a 1993ish Litespeed MTB and it is all the MTB I will ever need. And my advice, diplomatically turned, is to screw the Pugsley. I also find them interesting and, though I have never ridden one, tend to agree with those who point out the incredible amount of mass in the wheels and the effect on performance. Instead, I suggest that you build out the Litespeed with drops and barends, and get an extra set of wheels -- fatties on one set and 26" 1.35" CX tires on the other. I suspect you would ride that bike far more than a Pugsley.
