Left and below: Clearly seen here is the indented seat tube designed to radically shorten the overall wheel base. | |||||||||||||||||

The AA-Super as seen in the 1984 catalog has the wishbone seatstay like this, while the one shown here has a traditional arrangement. In the 1982 catalog there's no mention of an AA-Super. Was 84 the first year, and was the wishbone offered along with a classic seatstay? Or is Jaap's frame, and this one, both from a limited run in 1983? Put this together with the serial numbers, which on both the AA-Super frames we have recorded are completely out of sequence, and we have some unique issues regarding the these. |

On Jaap's AA-Super there's Reynolds decals from two different periods. The one on the seat tube (left) was in use from 1981-85, while the decal on the fork (right) was the last design Reynolds employed for the 531 tube set and started appearing in 85-86. Using these to date the frame causes some questions, obviously: Is the fork original or a later replacement? Is the frame from the 1985 transitional period where (unlikely) a mixed set of decal would be applied? |
