can anyone tell me if a Blur LT has a tapered headtube or is it only the carbon version that does?

cheers

FAQ says yes, without reference to frame material

good spot - I'd actually been looking at an older one on ebay and it seemed to have a straight headtube. then I read a review of the carbon one that seemed to suggest the LT2 (alu) was still 1 1/8 while carbon was tapered

just need to know when it changed now to make sure I dont make the mistake I made when getting the forks

hmm link to bikeradar review from 2010, says they wish it had a tapered headtube.. like the carbon version. So all of a sudden, did the alloy version have a tapered headtube at all?

LT is straight, LT2 isn't, the archive FAQ is a muddle of the two models
