Well i actually think its a Prototye becasue the brake bridge is straight and as soon as the first T/A rolled of the production line it had a curved brake bridge (im sure curved came first?) and theres no cut outs on the droputs ;)

Not convinced about the prototype claim, late forks had solid droputs but I don't know enough about the frames' brake bridge, etc to be sure.

its more likely a "ran out of race drop outs, go n get us a handfull of them streetbeat drop outs, fook it that'l do ;)" frame, cant be a prototype, coz, prototype for what?

IMO :)
