I don't see any touring frames that came with Dura Ace EX. And the serial number doesn't lie, right -- previous owner must have gone to the trouble to try to make it resemble a 959. But if you're going to go that far, why not remove the extra bosses? Have I overlooked something?
It definitely not a 900 series frame. The lugs, brake bridge, dropouts, and stay ends are all wrong for that. 600 series is much more plausible. Don't be mislead by the "EX" sticker -- that was likely placed long after the frame left the factory. I have a few of them here, in fact...
