Original catalogue copy agrees.

Hate to suggest you make it unoriginal right away. But steel stamped FD clamp on 'WILL' damage paint if it hasn't already..

where in the world did you find that thing? nice score.
there is one thing that jumped out at me is the size the box says 55cm frame but the photos suggest its a 52cm.i have a 55cm X01 and it has 170mm head tube and is visually much longer than the bike in the pic.seems odd it would be in a 55cm box but lots can happen in 27 years.enjoy your new X0,they are terrific bikes.was actually out on mine today for a nice 45 mile ride

The 55cm size is correct. They measured center to top. Your bike would technically be a 59.

i guess as long as the bike fits for you none of it really matters.
so did you measure your seat tube center to top ? maybe the photo makes the ht look shorter.my seat tube definitely measures 55cm cntr to top and the tt is 56.5.
