Their was a tiny fragment of doubt when I bought it, I 'THINK' I
contacted Anthony then but cant be sure. Its all badged up as a
Explosif but that means nothing. :(

OK Then ...................
I just took the rear break cable guide off and peeled back the Tange Prestige Concept label (which I'd say has never been off) and the frame
colour is a really Deep Purple colour.
And Gazz your right according to the Archive material the '91' Explosif
never had rack mounts, but the '92' did. 'IF' this is a fake its a bloody
good one, the decals have been lacquered over beautifully, but how
they manages to replicate the patina is beyond me. Its Deep Purple
colour has faded to light blue I guess, the frame is noticeable light and
the frame tubes are ovalised and turn just like my '94' Explosif which
I know is real as I bought it from new.

Dunno if this helps but Cannondale certainly crossed years, furinstance painting 93 frames 94 colours and stuff.
