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.

Yes there are slight variations in outside diameter, both seat tube and down tube are slightly thicker close to the BB. This may be normal I've never thought to check on any of my other bikes.

I don't have a Stronglight extractor and haven't touched the BB yet so can't give an exact spindle length but 118-120 is in the ballpark The "Q" factor is quite narrow.
