I've posted my Litespeed a few times on here.



It was purchased as a forkless frame, so the fork is an older bonded aluminum Schwinn road fork. The rear brake bridge wasn't drilled so I made a jig to drill it out through the center of the bridge, and parallel to the seat stays, and use calliper brakes. I currently have center pull brakes on the rears so I could use the canti cable stop. But, I don't really like them.

The rearend is WIDE. 135mm spacing on the rear wheel.

I run 25mm (or so) tires on it. I currently have a set of Tannus solid tires (23mm?) that I've been experimenting with for a little over a year. Odd tires, but they have advantages for a commuter.

Clearances are tight for fenders. No rack or fender mounts, but eventually I may get a rack on it.
