Beautiful bike, but I question whether it is a Classic. I have a '97 Classic which I bought new, (still have it), and it doesn't look like mine for a few reasons. First , the seat post treatment looks nothing like mine. On mine the seat stays attach higher up with less seat post showing above the junction. The decals appear to be pre-1997. That is not proof positive of year of manufacture (you can buy any year's decals from Litespeed. Mine are from the '98 year). I don't think LS offered that finish that year. Lastly, mine doesn't have eyelets of any kind.

Please don't misunderstand me; I'm not trying to be a buzzkill. What you have should be a fine riding machine. I truly enjoy mine. I have seen LS catalogs online. Track em down and check the pics. At the end of the day, I could be wrong. But I don't think I am in this case.
Enjoy the ride!
