What the specifications mean
The archived frame description does not map confidently to a material-specific inspection rule, so the frame and fork should be checked directly for structural damage, alignment problems, corrosion and evidence of repair. The archive lists a published weight of 3.85 kgs. Treat it as a reference for the documented build because frame size, pedals, tire setup and production substitutions can change the actual scale reading. The archive lists an original MSRP of $6,500.00. That is launch-price context, not a statement about the bike’s present condition or current market value.
Used-frameset inspection
If you’re buying this frameset used
Before buying: confirm the serial number and exact model, inspect frame and fork alignment, and inventory every included axle, hanger, clamp, headset part, cable guide and proprietary fitting.
Inspect the frame and fork →- FrameInspect the complete frame and fork in bright light for cracks, dents, distortion, corrosion, impact marks, suspicious paint differences or signs of repair. Check the head tube, bottom-bracket area, dropouts, joints and clamped surfaces especially closely.Inspect the frame and fork →
- Included hardwareInventory every axle, hanger, clamp, headset part, cable guide, frame plug and proprietary fitting included with the frameset. Confirm replacement availability before treating a missing small part as insignificant.
- AlignmentSight along the frame and fork from several directions. Confirm that the fork, rear dropouts, head tube and other visible interfaces appear straight; professional measurement is appropriate when alignment cannot be established visually.

Geometry interpretation
What this geometry means
48 geometry
Riding position
The 461 mm stack is low relative to the 389 mm reach, giving the frame a performance-oriented, lower-front-end proportion with more potential for a stretched riding position.
Handling tendencies
A 71° head angle combined with a 975 mm wheelbase points to more stability-oriented steering and chassis behavior. The longer the chassis and slacker the front end, the more the bike tends to favor composure over very quick direction changes. A 75 mm bottom-bracket drop places the rider relatively low between the wheels, which can add a settled cornering feel while reducing pedal clearance compared with a higher bottom bracket.
Archive context
Its stack of 461 mm sits toward the lower end. Its reach of 389 mm sits toward the longer end. The chainstay of 405 mm sits toward the shorter rear-center end.
51 geometry
Riding position
The 482 mm stack is low relative to the 406 mm reach, giving the frame a performance-oriented, lower-front-end proportion with more potential for a stretched riding position.
Handling tendencies
A 72.5° head angle combined with a 976 mm wheelbase points to moderate and balanced steering and chassis behavior. The longer the chassis and slacker the front end, the more the bike tends to favor composure over very quick direction changes. A 75 mm bottom-bracket drop places the rider relatively low between the wheels, which can add a settled cornering feel while reducing pedal clearance compared with a higher bottom bracket.
Archive context
Its reach of 406 mm sits toward the longer end. Its stack of 482 mm sits toward the lower end. The head angle of 72.5° sits toward the steeper end.
54 geometry
Riding position
The 498 mm stack is low relative to the 420 mm reach, giving the frame a performance-oriented, lower-front-end proportion with more potential for a stretched riding position.
Handling tendencies
A 72.5° head angle combined with a 995 mm wheelbase points to moderate and balanced steering and chassis behavior. The longer the chassis and slacker the front end, the more the bike tends to favor composure over very quick direction changes.

Handling tendencies
A 72.4° head angle combined with a 1048 mm wheelbase points to moderate and balanced steering and chassis behavior. The longer the chassis and slacker the front end, the more the bike tends to favor composure over very quick direction changes. A 74 mm bottom-bracket drop places the rider relatively low between the wheels, which can add a settled cornering feel while reducing pedal clearance compared with a higher bottom bracket.
Archive context
Its reach of 455 mm sits toward the longer end. The chainstay of 405 mm sits toward the shorter rear-center end. Its stack of 556 mm sits toward the lower end.
Across the size range
From 48 to 61, reach grows by 66 mm and stack by 95 mm, showing how the frame becomes both longer and taller through the published size range. The rear center stays essentially constant at about 405 mm across sizes, so most of the wheelbase growth happens in the front half of the bike rather than by lengthening the rear triangle.
Geometry describes frame proportions and likely tendencies, not a ride test. Rider proportions, cockpit setup, tires, suspension settings, wheel configuration, and component choices can materially change how a bicycle fits and feels.
