Seems to be pretty standard on other high end frames. No squishing--plenty of clearance for bottom brackets.
Ha, yeah disassembly is well past reasonable.
This is the inside of the Premis shell. I get that fitting the tubes by mitering is extra time and therefore cost, but wasn't sure if the late 80s Japanese built frames went that extra step due to higher quality/qc/different process.
