Right! The google search was for an Ascent and even though the paint is the same I didn't notice the Apex decal. The frame is home now and I'll see about some snaps when it cools down outside. Whew - hot out there. Brought the frame home strapped to the Kuwahara. It would have been nice if this frame had double eyelets front and rear on the dropouts. Should be almost a standard feature IMO. What I mean by under down tube braze-ons was for a water bottle and not cable routing.
