My wife does want me to stop...

One could argue it is in fact the predecessor.
-
Most stiff handelbar setup ever?
-
Just bought this. Can't wait for it to arrive at my doorstep.
-
Changed the tires for something more durable for winter time.
-
This needs Fluidisk wheels.
-
I think the original stuff. I used reversed isolation tape to get it to stick to the bars. Worked like a charm. Wish I had used yellow tape underneath , as it would have looked a bit nicer.
-
Salsa and Pro look great! Not sure about the Look stem. Does look great with straight handlebars though.
-
New bar tape day. Not sure if too much bling.
-
Depends on what type of tape you get. The more synthetic stuff (Lizard Skin, Fizik) is really easy to clean.
-
For some odd reason I kind a like this one.

Took out my pencil and ruler yesterday and drew up this. Surprisingly enough the saddle to bar distance with a 80 mm stem appears to be similar to my normal road bike which has a shorter top tube (58 or 59cm, can't remember exactly). That doesn't make any sence to me given the slack seat tube angle...
-
Needs white tape and white saddle
-
I would be disappointed if it would fit me in the conventional way ;) . That said, it would be nice if I could reach the handlebars for example.
-
The extremely laid-back seat tube angle and correspondingly long chain stays were meant to give an almost recumbent position for muscling the gears against the saddle’s backrest, with less weight being supported by the rider’s back and arms.

I owned this frame briefly some 5 years ago. I really wanted to build it up back then, but got feet because I wasn't sure if it would fit me.
I have a chance to buy it back now. I was hoping you guys could help me figure out if I can somehow make this work for me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
History on the frame is pretty much non-existent. I am pretty sure it was built by Litespeed, but they don't have any details on it. It came from the liquidation stock of the old Merckx factory, so I can't contact them for information. The geometry is very similar to the infamous Bauer Merckx Paris Roubaix bike (dubbed by Bikehugger as the ugliest Merckx ever), but less extreme.
Top tube length is 60 cm C-C. Seat tube length is 54 cm C-C.
I am 1.90m and ride a 59 cm C-C top tube.

Maybe even porn, instead of GBP?

Lovely Dean titanium frame. Price seems okay.

Don't think I posted my tandem in the thread yet. It replaced a very functional ableit rather boring Koga touring tandem. I have a SRAM Apex groupset to go on this. Just need to find the time to fit it. Also need to figure out how the disc brakes work.
