Like this - later 90's or turn-'o-th-millenia?
Takes a 28mm tubular, did not try the 30mm (probably not, as the 28mm Veloflex runs 27.5mm).
My Extralight's seatstays were straight as an arrow. Unsure if the curved chainstays impacted the ride, which I loved.
Maybe the Litespeed Vortex comprised the only titanium frame with curved seatstays.
I managed to fit a 28 rear tire. The shorter aspect ratio of Michelins allowed it to barely fit.
Vittoria Corsa Graphene 2.0's in 30 actually fit. The width made it a close call on the curved chainstays!
