HAHA... you would pick up on that :lol:

At any rate, what exactly is that on the frame? it looks textured, but yet so slick.

I'm sure that that is actually 1990 vintage. The paint scheme is called zolatone. The 1989 vintage was light grey

Sold mine 3 years ago, 7 speed XT/DX kit, onza HO cantis, Pauls fireballs seat bolt, USE seatpost with flite. very light very nippy.
