Can anyone help me id this litespeed from a cl post? seller isn't sure on model, but says its a 49 (but also says it could be a small), and I would like to take a peek at the geometry to see if it would work before I drive out to take a look.

anyway, here is the only picture I've got, and any help is appreciated.

edit: also, I know one photo (that doesn't really show tube shape) is almost nothing to go on :(

My guess based on the white downtube decal and frame appearance would be a 2005 Teramo. You can find some older catalogs here:

Not a Vortex (which had diamond shaped tubing that year - Firenze or Tuscany?) It's round to ovalized tubing on downtube.

If you can get the serial # from the bottom bracket shell you can call Lightspeed and find out. Did that with a frame I picked up a couple of years ago (also on CL)

I was thinking it looks like a solano (with the curved seat stays and seemingly ovalized down tube), but I'm going to ask for the serial and see what I can get.
