Images are a bit sketchy looking close up at image 2/6 you can see sleeved downtube weld - so seem likely a 1993 model year - the full frame no. will indicate, last digit = year see my own below as example…

Thanks for spotting auction , am interested to see current value as possibly preparing to part with my own ‘wall hanger’ - ‘timeline piece’ example - sadly featuring a repaired by Indy Fab & cracked again by me

V v few made made in Large in 93/94 thats for sure. I scoured the net for years to find my mesmerising flawless 94 L. Wonder what it went for.

Looks like that it wasn't sold on eBay.

Are these Fat Ti frames known for cracking?

No, aside from the one mentioned in this thread I’ve not heard of any others.

A tiny number of the first production ones in the very early 90s cracked and were replaced under warranty by FCC. There was a lot of production/destruction testing in the early days of Ti frame fabrication hence the gussets which appeared in 92-93. By 94 the Ti frames had evolved IMO to absolute perfection and gussets were not needed. Lots of people like the 92/93 gusset frames. Pretty sure the 93 L on ebay sold
