Litespeed identification
 
Alright, not exactly C&V, but picked this up tonight. I think it will need a real good workout before possibly giving it to my daughter.

What would I look for to ID the model & date? The crank has a late '99 date, but I haven't looked for anything else.
Equipped with 9s DA crank & RD, Ultegra shifters, brakes & FD. 1" King no-thread headset. Rolf 14s/16s wheels. Are there any frame details I should look for?

EDIT: it appears from my search that Litespeed keeps good records and I just need to find my s/n under the cable guide. My prelim guess is a late 90's Classic with a an OE threaded fork/headset/quill swapped out for a threadless system.

And I picked up the bike, plus a Blackburn trainer, for $500.

There isn't a SN database for Litespeeds on the web.
Go to the Contact section of the Litespeed website and send them the SN on your bike (bottom of BB shell).
Litespeed usually responds within a day or two.

Somewhere on my bucket list is a Litespeed. You found a cool bike for a cool price!
