Litespeed Ghisallo-weight weenie dream bike

Climbing Mt. Washington... 6000 feet in 7.6 miles.

I used a long cage modified DA derailleur. I added an extra-long b-tension screw to keep the derailleur cage from rubbing on the largest cog. It works perfectly.

16% average over 12.2km's? Okay, I take it back

I'm doing the ride with my 7 year old... he is attempting to become the youngest competitor ever to complete the ride. Saturday is practice... race is next month. Here is his rig...

I was mistaken... it's just under 5000 feet climbing over 7.6 miles, so average is just above 12%. But there are some really steep sections.

I'm considering parting out this bike. I cringe at the thought, but I have too many bikes and not enough money.

don't sell it

what it does is completely underated and unique. sell something else less special

Dibs on the frame and the fork. I want another ghisallo to weld track dropouts onto.

Just saw this thread, great collection!!

I would love to get into xcross but in the future i guess.

Also wanna say, its great to have a member of a honourable profession here.

That would be like selling a puppy to a Korean barbecue.

that's more like it. resist, resist

Changed my mind... rebuilt and keeping it.

I'd like to trade my THM Clavicula crankset (130 BCD) for a THM or similar compact (110 or 104 BCD) crankset. Bottom bracket has been upgraded to hybrid ceramic bearings. I'll also include a well used (but not abused) set of Fibre-Lyte Chainrings (52/38). I'd like another THM Clavicula, Lightning, or something similarly light weight in a 170mm length. Please contact me if you are interested in a trade.

I found this, brand new, in the box, at a swap meet. Had to buy it.
