Catalyst Road Frame


LITESPEED CATALYST -

The Catalyst road racing frame is made from US aerospace grade tubing.

The catalyst has an up-graded tubing set from the Natchez. The tubes have tapered walls and are butted at the ends. The tapering and butting is performed at room temperature which strain hardens the tubing set further making a stiffer, stronger frame.

It has machined shifter bosses, brake bridge and built-in seat binder from rod or plate then welded in place, and twin bottle braze-ons with Titanium bolts.

Available in 7 sizes (stand over height) 49cm (74.0cm) - 51cm (75.9cm) - 53cm (77.6cm) - 55cm (79.2cm) - 57cm (81.1cm) - 59cm (82.7cm) - 61cm (84.5cm)

To keep its price under $1100, the Catalyst comes a satin Titanium finish only. $ 1099.99
