I'm into 1997 and see conflicting data. Example: The 1997 spec manual says the Buenos Aires has True Temper Cro-Moly tubes and stays. The 1997 brochure says the Buenos Aires has an 853 "frame" (nothing stated specifically to stays).

So, my question..when conflicting data exists, does anyone know which data to believe as actual-true?

If the answer is "..sometimes the spec manual and sometimes the brochure.." then how do folks want to address conflicting data? (assuming anyone cares..it would be nice to have the spreadsheet accurate) Do I post conflicts here and you guys can determine which is correct? I'd guess, collectively, people know which is correct from experience or bikes they own(example..if someone has a 1997 BA and it has the 853 decal..then 853 is the answer).
