Dale:

The catalog scans at Mark Bulgier's (wonderful) site show C-Record equipped SL and SLX tubed bikes:

Perhaps one of the astute C-Rec knowledgeable members can approximate the year. I'd like to know (but I can wait until C-Rec becomes on topic for the CR list). I note that there is no wishbone stay model listed in that catalog; they are all conventional fastback style stay attachments. I have a 2000 wishbone stay, pinned lugs, EL-OS frame. Not sure when Antonio started offering the wishbone stays or if they were made in other than OS tubing.
