Please help me ID this Ti MTB
 

I picked up this Ti MTB off of CL a couple of years ago and love it. However, I have not been able to identify the manufacturer / year. Except for the bars and seat post, it is as I got it.

As I looked through the Vintage Ti MTB threads elsewhere, I was able to identify several distinguishing characteristics on this frame.

1) The three cable guides on the top of the top tubes. I only saw this on Moots and Kona examples.

2) Curved chain stays.

3) Bullet ends on the seat and chain stays. I have only seen this on Litespeeds and Kona.

Oh, and the SS # is SODT00149.

Thanks

Litespeed manufactured it, maybe for another brand.

Thanks for the reply. Please educate me. How did you come to this conclusion?

Looking through the old catalogs, it seems that Litespeed always placed cable guides on the side or bottom of the TT.

I don't think it's a Litespeed branded frame, but based on the dropouts, bullet stay caps and housing stops they certainly made it.

OK, that helps. Thanks
