To C or not to BC

[El Hefe Grande]

Thank you Obi - Wan for the explanation and images...I had to pull out my frame to make sense of the descriptions but it has really helped...

I have a few more questions if that is okay...

On the "C' model - The truss rods (that I have seen from images) have a slight angle after the fork eyelets and go straight up to the fork bracket... they do not have any bend to them.

On other models, the truss rods have a slight bend after the fork eyelets. this style is more pleasing to the eye in my opinion

Did the truss rods style change over the production of the model "C" or were they all the same?

Maybe I'm confusing these with the "BC" frames?

The early production c models are the ones that had the bend you speak of, after that all the same I think. So 36 to 37 possibly
C mod was a way to get rid of parts they had laying around. So that style truss probably is leftover b10 stuff

Thanks for posting Obi. Great info. Never heard of the fist trick. Just knew the opening was smaller on the C.
