Early Funks were 6061- T6 (6000 Series), then in 1992 Easton Pro-Gram and later in 1992 Easton Vari-Lite 7000 series I think. (or is Pro-Gram and Vari-Lite the same thing????)
Mine has got a massive downtube, filed welds and is 100% 1992 but later ones were smaller I think.
Just had a look at the MBUK article.
It's a "Summer 92" article - so probably written at least a few months earlier.
That "early 92" bike has:
1) Original Decals (Actually I think there was a simpler style before that, with less "square" font.
2) The smooth welds.
It says that that bike has the Varilite tubing - same as Programm
The Downtube is 1.75 inch
The Headset is 1.125
3.75lb weight
The earlier frame had:
straight guage 6000 series alloy
A 2 inch downtube
A 1.25 Headset
4.5 lb weight!
HTH

Mine has the 2" downtube and 1 1/4" headtube, raw unfinished welds but later Decals which appear to be original.
Mailed the guy who I bought it off and he bought it from its original owner in Denver who used to work for Funk. Could explain the lack of frame number??
So is it a 91 as I first thought??

Sounds like a cut and shut
I wouldn't worry about it. It's the early frame. Decals aren't original for a 91. They are late 92 / 3. Maybe it was an old tubeset lying around built up in 92. Who knows - especially if it was an employee bike.
Just marvel at it :mrgreen:
If it was an old tubeset laying about they would use the current joining method rather than reverting to the original welding style/finish. Its a strange one but hey who cares- she makes me happy
Managed to find a few more parts today. Stuck on wheels though, time to head over to the 'bay and have a sculk around methinks.

Mines got rivetted stops? Who on here has those?
