1993 TET-980 in Mexico spotted on Facebook

Great find, what a steal at $50.

TET 980 - 19" 1993 Metallic Turquoise - Triangle cut-out Dropout. Tange Ultrastrong Ribbed Downtube. Original Decals, missing Hot Decal.

Two new additions, both have been up for sale in the last 6 months or so, both in lovely condition.

First up a 1994 but with original 1993 decals. That would have been a specific ask from the original customer.





TET 1210 - 16" 1994 Purple - No Trianble cut-out Dropout. Original and complete 1993 decals. Tange Ultrastrong Ribbed Downtube.

Next, a super-trick 14" Hot, a little later in the 1994 production run.





A perfect shot of the BB bulge, ribbed downtube and Ultrastrong decal



TET 1260 - 14" 1994 Forest Metallic Green - No triangle cut-out Dropout. Tange Ultrastrong Ribbed Downtube.

Great stuff. Do you have a picture of the SN to complete the details?

Very nice, but looks bigger than a 16 inch to me. Also great to see the original docs, it looks like the stamp is from a German shop so that would have been 4500 German Marks in 1997.

Yep, I'm calling it 18" at least.

Insane price, presumably as a full bike. According to the internet, 4500 marks is about 2300 euros in todays money. Big big bucks back then.

No picture fromthe SN.
Unfortunately the bike was sold shortly before I did. But the number is secured. I talked to the owner.
Yes it is a 18. It was sold in Germany, the Price is in D-Mark, that is like 3500€ today.
