The TX900 was built with different frame parts than the Isaacs-era Treks, including the 753. The Treks designed by Isaacs had proprietary lugs, bb shells, and in some cases dropouts (BIG mistake, especially with through-the-chainstay rear derailleur cables.) The 900 was built with Cinelli lugs, Haden or Ishiwata bb shell and fork crown, and Campy dropouts. The 19 1/2", 21" and 22 1/2" sizes were Columbus Sl tubing, the 24" and 25.5" were SP.
