Haha, no worries, I feel like most people probably have better ways of spending a late monday night after a long weekend... I'm definitely not particularly knowledgeable about these framesets (or bikes in general for that matter), but having looked around, I can't find anything immediate what would make me doubt the bike's authenticity. According to one internet source (so grain of salt), the flat crown fork was used as one way to save weight on some of these framesets (STI weighty, and last of hurrah of steel in these years).

Yeah, doing a bit of research (sorry should of done it last night / blame the sun) you are right. I think all the mxl framesets I’ve seen have been from a different year. So some details on the frameset differ. Not seen the original flat crown fork before either.. think that also threw me off :)
