Is this a completly different frame-type or just a smaller one?
Stoppi - a little more info for you.
The one you posted a pic of [Ameybrook's old Ned replica] is indeed a '92 as Bart has pointed out, and a different [smaller] size.
I am not sure in reality whether the frames 'genuinely' differed as much as the 2-3 year gap between them might suggest.
The minor differences between the different frames are:
• Seat clamp collars [the '94 ones are 'ribbed', in common with all the S-Works frames of '94 and '95].
• Non-replaceble drop-outs on the '92
• I 'think' that on later frames the gusset extended further down the down tube - not sure if that made production though...?
The major difference of course is the frame number...
The Ned replica above is of course one of the 'fabled 500', and pretty much the holy grail of M2 frames [imho].
Cheers,
BB.
P.S. Bart never bloody sells anything. I've already pestered him about this frame and his 1989 Epic - but he just ignores me. Very unfair I say...
