FS: 53cm Litespeed Catalyst Titanium Frameset

Found a better fitting frame for my wife, so looking to move this on to a new home.

Mid-late 90's Litesepeed Catalyst, size 53 with a 54cm top tube, see the geo chart in the album below for detailed measurements.

Overall the frame is in very good shape. The most notable 'issue' is that the waterbottle rivnuts on the DT are missing. Since my wife never carried more than one, I just plugged the holes, but they can be easily replaced for a few bucks if so inclined. Otherwise, the frame has typical signs of use with some cable rub. light scrapes, logo wear etc. but is structurally 100% with no dents, dings or alignment issues. The fork has a bit of tire rub and some paint chips but is also aesthetically good and structurally sound. I really love these older ti frames (see my wtb ad for one in my size!), the ride quality is superbe since they aren't as brutally stiff as most modern makes, and they are pretty much apocalypse-proof. I could drone on, but you can see tons of pictures and a catalog sheet with geo, design details etc can be found in the album HERE

MOMBAT also has pretty much all of the 90s Litespeed catalogs if you really want to take a deep dive

I am asking $360 shipped CONUS for the frame, fork and Dura Ace headset, and will also throw in a quill stem and handlebar of your choosing if desired. Please see pics for details and let me know if you have any questions. Cheers!

Had a couple questions about tire clearance: a 28c fits, albeit snuggly up front, rear could take a 30c easy, possibly 32c
