The Litespeed Appalachian was originally sold as a cyclcocross and touring frame, but modern riders have rediscovered it and found it works very well as a gravel bike.
The fork is an aftermarket steel threadless fork with both cantilever brake and rack braze-ons.
We believe this is one of the original Litespeeds and was made by the Lynskeys.
