This is the meat of my Q. If the NC is the same frame (even with a bit different geo) then I will very likely buy one for a build. BUT if the 853 tubing is a lesser quality than, say, the 853 on the Zurich or BA it may change the conversation.

So, I guess I am more interested in the tubing used. All the same per production year? Not all 853 tubing is identical (right?).

BTW how do you like the Nevada city?
