It looks like they have just stuck a tapered headtube and double side drop out on the old bike to me. Which is not a bad thing. Mine is 12 years old, has over 32,000km on it and gets treated like dirt, it’s held up on far ;)

oval at the BB shell, which makes sense
It makes some kind of sense, although I wonder whether the real reason for it isn't just to make the welding easier rather than the "laterally stiff vertically compliant" marketing justification usually applied to that design feature. After all these years it's the signature style of the PreCursa, so they're probably not going to change it now

Wouldn't it make more sense to have the fat part of the downtube at the welds instead of in the middle?
