I think (please correct if I am wrong) SM's are based on a 1" head tube
If it is a '93 model then it is a M series then could be based on a 1 1/4" headtube. Certainly a M800 "Beast of the East". I think the lower end models such as the M400 / 500 were based on 1" headtubes.

Heres the frame in question.......
Can't make out what steerer is from here, its a '92 frame though
It has a FSA Pig headset which I believe is only available in 1 1/8th or 1.5" - or am I wrong?
But being a large frame it has a long H'Tube
Let me find out and I'll be in touch

That is a Series 3 frame. My 1993 M2000 Series 3 is based on a 1 1/4" headtube.
Righto, I am confused now....
What I can't work out is that it has a FSA Pig Headset, they don't come in 1.25" flavour??
Only 1 1/8th and 1.5"...... I have double and treble checked this, also I have them on some of my modern bikes...
So it's defo NOT a 1", we can confirm that.......
The only problem is, that if it is a 1 1/4" headtube...
a) How is a 1 1/8th headset fitted
b) it's going to be a pain to get fork isn't it?
Strange!!!
Sorry for all the newbie questions!

Nope. Won't be 1 1/8 unless he's running reducers. Don't mean to sound like I'm being 'strong', but 1" or 1 1/4" of that era. I *THINK* '92 was the changeover, so that'll be 1 1//4. Ask the guy to measure the headset across the flats. If its 32mm, its 1", 36 its 1/8 (ie he's reducing a one and a quater setup), and 40mm its 1 1/4"cheesey":7k7qyhb7 said:Thanks Juiceboxx - may well be in touch!!!
UPDATE: It is indeed a 1 1/8th headtube (was on original correspondence with seller DOH!)
