I just quit my job, so it's gonna be a good while before it's built up.
current plan:
Wound Up 1 inch threadless fork w/King headset (steal headset from fixed gear frame I'm selling)
Salsa stem (parts bin)
Nitto tradtional bend bars
Cane Creek levers (parts bin)
Ultegra brakes (parts bin)
Thomson Post (may already have if it's 27.2)
Ultegra 9 - (maybe with downtube shifters)
Shimano 600 cranks (parts bin)
Flite TT saddle (steal from bike I'm selling)
Open Pros or Velocity Aeroheads laced to White Industries hubs by yours truly - 32 front 36 rear, 3x
That frame is indeed built by Litespeed. It was built in the Lynksey family days though and is a good quality frame.
I happen to have that exact frame - the AX - I have many miles on it and like it just fine.
That said, I am tempted to sell it as I feel I am too heavy for it, it would be a fine climber with someone lighter than me on it I think.
It will make a nice bike, enjoy it.
