I don't think I've ridden a Vortex, but I've ridden and raced several Litespeeds, mostly from that era. I'm kinda surprised your '01 has a 1.125" head tube - my oldest (yet most recent) Litespeed was a '01 Classic with 1", and the fork it came with had a completely incompatible rake for the frame geo. Bike was almost unridable, and finding a full carbon fork that had the correct offset for the frame was a small nitemare. Fortunately I'm so small, I didn't need to hold out for any kind of steerer length... found an Ouzo Pro in 1" with a hella short steerer for not a lot of money, but most you ogres won't be that lucky.
Anyway.... point for posting: I ****en love those old Litespeeds. No complaints, no cracks, no problems, and you can find them in great shape for cheap. Just my style.
