If all this makes sense, then: EM Bauer - IV93, EM Zamana - IX94, EM Armstong - X94, EM TdF95 - VI95 (if Bauer's frame was produced in the autumn of '93 - it would be perfect, if someone confirmed it ...). Weak point: production per month (EM Bauer - EM Zamana: ~ 6200 frames in 17 months = 365 per month, if Bauer should be moved in the fall 93 = 515 p / m --- EM Zamana - EM TdF: ~ 5350 frames in 9 months = 595) According to this "calendar", your frame would be built at the earliest in spring 1996. Another version is: F9016 was produced in 1995 but in autumn / winter (after TdF95, but before the 1996 season); then the average production of spring 93 - fall 95 is ~ 385 per month, and your frame is production from the turn of 1996/1997. To sum up: 1996 - 80%; 1997 - 20% (I can not be more precise at the moment). P.S. rarely found "camo": it is not in the catalogs for 1995 (and earlier) and 1998 (and later) ...
