Re: Re:
The original TVT frames with the alloy rear brake bridge were supplied with a Vitus fork, Dan - the later ones (Which Delgado rode in '8 had their own unicrown TVT carbon fork as well as the integrated carbon rear brake bridge.
Gear wise, I have a 53/39 C Record chainset and a 12-25 9 speed cassette on the rear. For the Alpes etc I have to use a Campag Racing T (such a dreadful name..) triple chainset with 52/42/30t rings, as I simply can't climb like I used to when I was a kid! With the triple set up, I use Campag Record 9 speed down tube gear levers and Racing T front and rear mechs.

Retro Dan":3pe54fnl said:Quick question for Craig - what sort of ratios do you use - 7 speed on the back something like 12 - 22 and a 54 up front? (have 53 campag on the Pantani Bianchi and US Postal and they both top out too soon) also, how do you figure out which front fork is on there (the frame is only marked "carbon 7" (plus the usual TVT stamps) and the fork is chrome/polished, with a definate shoulder at the top that then turns into a fat fork rather than smooth curve/thin look of a TVT 89/92
Cheers, Dan.
***Edit - looks like Vitus front forks looking at pics on google***
