This could be the case with my frameset. Perhaps the fork is Hi-ten, although there's no way to discern such a characteristic, as would be possible with the helical ridges in SL. There's certainly no tubing badge on the fork...

Components are 7-speed exage 300EX. What's funny is that everything is in almost mint condition. I can only assume the bike was purchased and ridden for less than a season and subsequently stored in a basement.

Thinking about it, there are hints that this frame IS infinity throughout. The rear brake bridge takes a recessed nut, and the rear dropouts are forged, not stamped. The opposite would be expected out of a frame where they cheaped out on the rear tubing, no?
