As the title man sez; 2003 Litespeed Saber in 55cm. $1350 local pickup-- paypal would be best.

I purchased the bike a year ago; mostly unchanged from that time except for an extra ~1500 miles (about 1/3 on the trainer) and some new wheels. I originally thought i was going to be Mr. Duathalon but found myself riding my ~10 year old steel road frame instead of running and road racing instead of doing Du. . . now I'd like to pick up a dedicated road race rig and am raising the funds to do so.

Very comfy, very stiff, I did some 2-3 hour rides in a time trial position and was quite comfortable.

Specs:
Titanium frame with carbon seatstay and fork
VisionTech TriMax plus flatwing "R-bend" bars with Dura-Ace bar end shifters
Full Ultegra 9 speed with NEW 11-23 rear cassette, ultegra 53-39 cranks 172.5
Brake cables have ~200 miles, shift cables & housing are brand new.
Thomson zero setback Seat Post, Selle San Marco tri saddle
Pro-Lite Como wheels (30mm rims, 20 bladed spokes front, 28 rear)
Michelan Pro Grip tires with ~500 miles
OLD speedplay pedals (1997) with no cleats, OR Look PP396 pedals with newer cleats
Profile Karbon Kages (2)

Disclaimer: I maintained and cabled this bike myself-- it works fine but was not done by a pro mechanic or a shop. If this concerns you, you should have a shop check it out before you ride it.

Second note: I pulled off the old decals and put on some of the 2007 decals; I also have the rest of the decals for this bike if you want to spice it up a little.
