It seems like catalogs go out of their way to be vague about lower end framesets.

For example the 92 Diamondback catalog says about the Ascent in one place "100% True Temper Special Short Butt, double butted 3 main tubes" and in another place it says "100% True Temper Cromoly frame with double-butted short butt main tubes"

So, is the frame 100% true temper, or are 3 main tubes 100% true temper? It seems like maybe the stays are hi-ten? Or just straight gauge cr-mo? For the next bike up, the catalog specifies "all other tubes cromoly" which makes wonder about the stays.

I also like how hi-ten is listed as "sturdy"
