  • V1: 29.8mm seattube v3: 27.2mm
    V1: No bottle mounts
    V1: First 20 had external headsets and non perforated dropouts
    V1: built from gas pipe tubing. V3:True Temper
    Geo of v1/3 differ slightly as in the TT of the V3 is slightly longer for each size.
    Think that's it..

  • That's some good intel - thanks!

    So that seems to settle it: this is indeed a v1, but not one of the first 20

  • Exactly.

    V2's top and down tubes are also from True Temper "Supertherm" butted tubes, like the V3, besides having a gusseted down-tube, a brake bridge & the cluster fork that makes them easily distinguishable.

    The V1 and V3 fork legs are seamless, cold-drawn, 4130 "ProMoly Streamline Tubing" made in the USA by Plymouth Tube Co.
