Does anyone know where to buy a Litespeed Classic size 57 frame?
hi
I currently have a size 55 Litespeed Classic frame, which is

• size 55, Litespeed Classic frame
• 555mm horizontally (center to center)
• 530mm vertically (center to center)
• standover of 792mm (from ground to the top of the top tube)
• paired with a 100mm stem, 3TTT 2002 Evol
• 30mm saddle-handlebar drop (acceptable, not ideal)

The way Litespeed expresses the frame measurements is quite misleading because it uses the upper part of the horizontal tube instead of center to center, so that the measurement does not depend on the diameter of the horizontal tube.

Anyway, due to spinal problems I can't have a saddle-handlebar drop, so I necessarily need a frame one/two sizes(1) up in height, which, in terms of Litespeed's sizes, it means size 57.

• size 57, Litespeed Classic frame
• 565mm horizontally (center to center)
• 550mm vertically (center to center)
• standover of 811mm (from ground to the top of the top tube)
• to be paired with a 90mm stem (-5mm), 3TTT 2002 Evol
• 10mm saddle-handlebar drop (-20mm!!! ideal)

I know, it's less aerodynamic, not efficient in terms of energy converted into speed, and it's not what a professional would use, but a few mm more vertically allows me to reduce the saddle-handlebar offset by 20mm, which may seem like little but in my case I have already verified (on other frames) that it makes a big difference for the problem I have with my back, hernia in the disco, last vertebrae

Unfortunately, I have been looking for years, only found size 55 Classic frames on eBay.
I'd love to assemble a full bicycle with 90s parts, so I'd like to buy a frame made in the early 90s where they were one inc headset.

(1) Litespeed gives you no choice for the Classic frame, either you choose size 55 or 57, but there is no size 56.
With whe Ultimate frame they give more choices, between 55 and 57 you can also choose 56

Professionals are elite athletes and are conditioned for extreme riding positions. They are also young and paid to be in pain!

I would try eBay US, simply because many more Litespeeds were sold over there. Good luck with your search.

can't you use a stem with more rise on the frame you have or would that ruin the aesthetic for you?
