Size?
What size do you ride?
There is a Lynsky dealer near me that has some things on sale, I'd be happy to see if he has something in your size.

Nope

Kerry it seems that what you want is a new copy of your old bike and wheels...Does Litespeed still make the Vortex?
All of the current Litespeed Ti frames have sloping top tubes and PF30 bottom brackets, both things Kerry specifically said he didn't want.
Frankly, if something happened to my current Litespeeds ('96, '05 and '06) I don't know what I'd do to replace it (or even if I would, I have too many as it is) since nothing Litespeed makes is what I'd want.

sloping PF 30

Yeah, and now I find that there's little choice otherwise. The sloping top tube is pretty much an aesthetic thing and I'm assured by several sources that poorly implemented PF 30 systems are the problem, not the design so I have resigned myself to both.

In a Lynskey I would take a large. This is pretty much regardless of which model. I need a 57.5-58.5 cm top tube and that is what comes on Lynskey large road bikes. I currently ride a 57.5 cm top tube with a 13 cm stem, so with a 58.5 TT I would drop to a 12 cm stem.
I'd be most interested in an R 450 though I doubt your local dealer has one on the floor. If he does however, let me know ASAP! irons54vortex (at) gmail (dot) com
