– In all the preparation I ended up with an extra Litespeed C3 frame set(XL).It is a 2012 virgin frame (never built up let alone ridden). It was used for display only at Interbike this year.
It has the more desirable ghost paint graphic scheme, instead of the present 2013 red/white/black.
Frame itself is a grey carbon rather than the black carbon color.
Has the adjustable seat post rather than the previous frame extension that had to be cut to set height and Litespeed fork/seat set.
These are the same geometry as the Archon we have ridden RAAM with and train on.
We ordered 2 frames (XL and S) from our contact at Litespeed – when we got them, mine was a 2012 and Nancy’s a 2013 (the graphics are different).
We try to ride the same equipment and try to look the same so….. there were no 2012 S frames left anywhere so I had to go with the 2013.
I need to sell it right away $1000.
If you know anyone who might be interested feel free to fwd onto them.
