Question about old Cannondale frame.

Greetings all,

I have just taken delivery of an old Cannondale frame. It seems to have road race geometry but some of the measurements don't seem to jive with the Vintage Cannondale website. It is serial number BB06098 which, according to Vintage Cannondale, dates from 1984.

It has a third pair of water bottle mounting bosses on the bottom of the down-tube above the bottom bracket. It also has a 130mm rear wheel spacing.

Is it possible that a 130mm rear spacing came from the factory? Is it more likely to have been "tweaked" at some point. The rear dropouts each have a singular rack mount and seem to be parallel with each other.

The frame looks to be in excellent condition, apart from a possible chemical reaction that has stained what appears to be powder-coating.

Any ideas or Cannondale information will be greatly appreciated.
