How accurate are catalogs?

Can you imagine how costly that'd be to have the right sized oval, at the right joint position per frame size?

Yep, hence why I see the issue being in the tube selection phase.

Still doesn’t answer the splined/fluted vs round in ‘94 Explosifs question. Cant currently reach mine (other crap in the way) to see if there is evidence of ‘93 colouring under the ‘94 green on mine.

The geometry was slightly different, 94 was the year they moved from a 395mm axle to crown fork to a suspension corrected 410mm. With a corresponding reduction in headtube length to maintain stack height.

So should I be running 395s or 410s?

If it's a 94 then 410mm.

If it's a 94 then 410mm.

That’s good, as I have both threaded and unthreaded triple butted P2s - it’s currently has the threaded fitted. When I can get to it, I’ll go and start measuring to see if my splined/fluted ‘94 is really a ‘94 or a sneaky ‘93.

The frames are still going strong. Never seen a failure there.
(The 95/6 one of them..did snap at the chain stay junction like other frames. Redesigned in 97, but not at the big tube junction.).
So just an aesthetic problem for you, not a structural problem. ;-)

Pretty sure they didn't alter this for the catalogues either..... Whistles...

Very much an aesthetic issue!
