What would you pay for a 1998 lite speed ultimate?
"Classic Ti race bike with a lot of nice parts on it. Reynolds Ouzo Pro carbon fork, Chris King headset, full Dura-Ace except Shifters/R Derailleur- those are 105. Mavic Ksyrium Elite straight-pull bladed wheels with serviceable hubs, MRB BB-Gun hollow spindle Ti Bottom Bracket. 56 cm frame. Bike is very stiff, light,handles fast and climbs well. Very clean, well taken-care of, never crashed. Some slight cable rubbing. Saddle and shifters are worn, prolly need replacing. New LOOK pedals, cleats and mounting hardware-pedals never used. Also full replacement decal set and Mavic hub service tool, extra 700 x 20 tubes included."
Current ask is $1000 OBO. Judging by cost of frames it's worth it. I'm quite handy with bikes so I can repair anything but the shifters are gonna be an upfront cost.
I love old road bikes, this thing seems like a weapon. I don't race though so maybe this is a dumb purchase? It just seems really nice
