Nice build gridno27
They look like Delta 2nd generation to me, even rarer

Yes indeed - I got the green frame set for my first quote. The seller had been the same Intention to build it up with a
Suntour Superbe Pro, but he has not enough passion to collect groupset, so he sold the framse set to me. It's in really good conditions a perfect base of the Suntour Superbe Pro PRO bike replica Project.

The groupset is nearly complete, only a Suntour Superbe Pro SP-SB00-L eatpost in 25.0mm is missing, but can substitutby a Taiwan retro looking Kalloy. Now I am looking for a corresponding jersery (see my Wanted -Thread) and for someone who interesting to produce the missing Stickers, ecpecially the Villinger for the down tube.

But remember our conversation about the painting - I think they couloured (not painting) the carbonfibre green too.

sorry I haven't no other pics - they are from Franjo

Sorry No I disagree the frames were sprayed what ever colour & then lacquered. Just look at the Lemond ones! no way is the carbon coloured.

 

[gridno27]

...and what do you think about this here? For my opinion it's couloured carbon fibre

 

[stringfellow1946]

The Green on the seat tube & the rear Seat stays Is Sprayed on Paint.
Maybe the Lacquer is tinted Green? or maybe the gel coat is coloured.
Look where the paint / lacquer is is chipped & you will see black underneath.
I've had well over 20 of these throughout my hands as I used to sell them new in the shop. Plus I've never seen a coloured piece of carbon even in the factory here on the IOW where the stuff is manufactured, its always been black.
But I will ask a few of my friends that work on the manufacturing at SP Systems / Gurit & get them to check if they now make coloured carbon. as these frames are 25 plus years old.

it is all paint , gelcoat is a completely different product usually for styrenated resins (eg polyester and vinylester laminates), it is tinted clear and solid colour on the carbon/epoxy tubed Helvetica
