I don't know if they still do it but Litespeed had a "lifetime warranty" for the original owner for their Ti frames. That was if you registered it by mail when you bought it and/or kept the original sales slip. I made sure to mail in the registration for my '96 Catalyst and registered my '05 Firenze and '06 Tuscany on-line.
So far, I've never needed to use the warranty on any of them after 75,000, 50,000 and 47,000 miles respectively.
