Bruce, My Road Standard did have an extended heat tube, I specifically remember they brazed on a "spacer" above the top head lug (looked seamless once painted). This may have been an option, I don't recall; it certainly could have been since it the extension was a separate piece. I also had some extra headset spacers on the steerer tube.
I believe the extended head tubes started from the begining, my frame was from the first "batch" delivered. http://www.flickr.com/photos/16951...@n08/1982654041/ Angus On Nov 20, 7:01 am, Bruce <fullylug...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Angus: > > Do you recall if the head tube on your '95 was extended or not?
