Condition Frame presents in very good to excellent condition, a testament to careful ownership and titaniums inherent durability. No structural damage or deep marks are present. Cosmetic considerations are limited to some wear on the original decals and a light polished area on the drive-side chainstay where previous chain rub was professionally buffed out. The brushed titanium finish remains clean and consistent throughout, and all threads, braze-ons, and mounting points are in pristine condition. Workshop Wisdom What sets this frame apart is the remarkable harmony between Merckxs race-proven design and Litespeeds titanium mastery. The flawless welds, particularly around the bottom bracket and head tube junctions, showcase Litespeeds reputation for exceptional titanium fabrication. The precisely machined dropouts and cable stops arent just functional theyre a testament to the no-compromise approach these collaborative frames received. This wasnt just another titanium frame; it was built to honor both Merckxs exacting standards and Litespeeds metallurgical expertise.
