i have the same bike i bought in the 90s. it's a donnay composite pro 9000.
I don't have a photo, the bike is with my parents.
I'm happy to learn a little more about this bike I ended up thinking that there was no other.

That's great. I searched the entire internet and concluded it wasn't on it.
I believe an Irish rider brought it home after a stint in Europe. It changed hands several times with the repaints getting worse. When I got it there was no sign of decals or brand of any kind. I had to take the seller's word for it being a Donnay.
Funny, I found pictures on line of the 8000 and 8600 models. I concluded that I'd copy the 8600 Decals but use 9000. So I was right!
See the photo of the 8600 I found and my test 9000 decals printed on paper. The lettering is black but I was intending white for the real thing.

If you could send me a few photos of your one and even a few dimensions of decals it would be great.

Is the all colour purple correct?

Hi my father sent me some pictures. The fork is not original. It is in very average condition as it has been in storage for over 20 years. However, it has not been repainted and the color is therefore original.

That's fantastic. Thanks very much for posting.
I'll post more photos when I get more work done.

I can't quite read the decal at the bottom bracket. Would it be possible to get a better photo that one?

Also what is the history of your bike and what country is it in now?

Good morning I will ask my father to send me the photo of the sticker. I bought this bike in the 90s when I was doing triathlon. I bought the frame used, it was split at the seat post. I had it repaired at Corima. I then had it equipped with Dura ace. I used it for a few years and then it is stored in the south east of France.
