Closeout correction on 2026-09-25: matching size labels do not identify RC 40 model 290362; this is excluded as evidence for its geometry, BB housing dimensions and clearance.

The separately reopened 2026 Addict manual names Addict, describes a 1 inch steerer, 418 mm chainstays and a storage kit, and does not identify model 290362. Its 38 mm maximum and geometry must not be transferred based on matching size labels.
