WTT/WTS 56cm Litespeed Catalyst for 60+cm Ti
Hope this is old enough the be considered vintage, but I figured it's early Lynskey Ti, so it might pass as classic 
What little I was able to find, I estimate this as a 94-95'ish Catalyst. I bought this bike based on a 'liberal' sizing and unfortunately it's just too small for me. Looking to trade for another Ti frame of similar quality in a 60-63cm frame size if possible.
As a secondary option, I am also open to selling. Thinking $450 net to me shipped to the conus obo. I'd really rather trade for a ti frame in my size, but open to deals.
Measurements
Seat Tube: 54cm ctc 56cm ctt
Top Tube: 55cm ctc
Head tube: 12cm
Rear Spacing: 135mm
Includes a matching steel/cf Look fork and Dura Ace 7410 headset.
The welds on this are nothing short of flawless, truly beautiful, and all threads are clean and true. The finish is overall in very good shape with typical decal wear, and a few rubs here and there. There are three very very small dings in the top tube that I tried to capture in the photos, but are really so small they are hard to see.
Please see the pictures for details, and feel free to contact me for any further details or offers. Thanks all!

And here I am, completely out of 60cm Ti bikes.
Awesome, Alex.
When I clicked on the first photo, some rather surprising pictures came up, under the picture.
I'm not sure whether to thank you or warn others. Kind of ironic, in a way.

Is this bike still available?
I have a 61 cm Catalyst that is just too big for me and would love to trade it for your 56cm, if it is still available. I'm sure it's gone by now but I had to give it a shot. I'm 5'-10" and can just barely stradle this bike, but I love it. It's fast as all get out! You can get back to me at I live in Portland, Maine now, but lived in Colorado for 10 years back in the 80's & 90's when I was a kid. Thanks,
Matthew
