Would have been interesting to put this next to the 01 Solitaire for comparison
I have, the stats, from memory...
'99 Singlespeed, 1.95kg, 22.5" tt, 19.5" seat tube, min 16.5" chainstay.
'01 Solitaire, 1.8kg, 23" tt, 19.5"seat tube, min 16 1/8" chainstay.
Quite a difference in spec. The Paul track ends on the '01 are much prettier and the seat stays seem to be more slender.
The Dekerf trademark downtube gusset is missing from both, probably to keep the price down, yet the "cut price" Generation (same price as the Singlespeed at the time) still has this gusset...
The seller included a brochure , which I shall have to scan.
