I just pulled those pics off the internet. Even though you said "old style", I was more concerned whether or not you knew that there were 2 sizes to choose from.
Are the parts not compatible, or is it a period-build type of thing? I know they were made for several years, with various improvements for each iteration, but I had assumed that all 3 San An frame parts (the Main "tube", the swing-arm, and a large or small seat sub-frame) were structurally compatible throught the various iterations. I'm an enthusast, but I'm (obviously) far from being an expert. Mad props to all the experts out there.

Thx for asking.
Its a period build type thing. There are many versions with small changes over the years. So its easy to see if parts match or not.
In a few weeks I will get a rather rare 93 main frame and a 94 swingarm. Those are not perfect matches but I will leave them as Frankenstein build together until I find the correct matching parts. But to make it a whole frame I will need a seat tower first. There are always people looking to swap parts. So it makes it easier if you have something to swap.
Finding a seat tower only is not that easy. But should be possible as some destroyed/cracked their swingarms over the years.
Here's a pic of me and my bike early 94.
That is the build I'm going for right now.
The idea behind this build is to do a replica build of my 93/94 dh race bike.
