Full Cro-Mo Frame with Butted main tubes, straight gauge Cro-Mo stays. Cro-Mo fork.

100% is 100%. The difference between the Blue Ascent and the Limited Edition is in componentry;
400LX brakes on the LTD instead of 200GS brakes on the Blue, and the LTD has the "Brake Booster"
stays vs. standard tapered stays. Look for the 'bulge', about 2" long right around the R. canti boss
on both sides.
