I guess the Spanish had their own sized tubes and lugs going on, or at least Torrot did. An enigma wrapped in a palindrome
The steerer tube takes a regular 22.2mm stem
This is one odd combination of tubing dimensions!

If you have not done so already you could try measuring the diameters of the tubes at various points along their length in case there are variations due to irregularities.

Will look forward to reading the braine troost's observations on this one.

The puzzle may grow curiouser and curiouser...

Is Verot spindle a 118 or a 120? Each 49D I have disassembled had a 120 yet forum posters have stated that factory specification for the 49D is the 118. 118 is factory specification for the 93.
