So...
Got the bike and generally pretty happy with it, but some strangeness going on.
Pretty sure it's been resprayed as the paint is thick and hasn't aged.
BB is a royce (did they make a threadless BB?). If not, something weird's going on. I feel it my be best not to look too hard
Forks need some work
Proshift rear mech is nice, but needs a bit of work
Mavic front mech is a little rusty and also can't work out if it is meant to bend as much as it does, looks intentional, but not sure
I'll get some more detailed pics up soon..

The paint might just be a thick powdercoat to protect it and given the trick stuff on there that could well be likely. Or it could be....( sorry 
) cracked and rewelded then painted to hide that.
As you say, best ignore that for now and play with all the other nice bits.
Happy overall ? and are you going to let us into its Best Offer price

Royce and Pace had a thing going on when they brought out their RC200 frame set in 92, could be they did something for the RC100 as an after market option, but never seen one, a disassembly and photos would help, though I know you don't want to go there :O
Looking forward to some photos soon

Don't seem to be any signs of any mends, but you never know. It's my first rc100 so a little blind on this one.
Maybe I'll talk to Adrian to see if they did do anything with royce. Interested to know the history of this one.
Knowing me, I'll probably take an age to get round to doing much with this. Been looking for about 6 years now so what's the rush!

You will be able to tell from the width of the BB shell, the Bullseye shells are a lot wider than a standard 68mm shell, if the shell on yours has be reduced to 68mm I am not sure how the crank arms are clearing the chain stays ~ A couple of photos would tell a lot without any disassembly
Re-welds ~ Look around the bottom of the seat tube/BB weld area always a favourite for failure and also seat stay/seat tube joint, again a favourite
As Rich says, the Royce thing was an "option" on the F1 RC200 frames and the later RC100 frames were always a testing bed for later development so lots of "genuine" possibilities...
