Re:
Thanks, I have found a really interesting photo from 1990. It is a Z team TVT with a single headtube as per my style. So that would mean they were available to the pro teams in 1990. I will post it in the morning as the light is too poor right now. It is taken from the recent Greg Lemond book Yellow Jersey racer. I have the correct rear deraileur on order and a chorus adjustable front deraileur from the 1988 catlogue and a C Record front deraileur (braze on). I will end up with two bikes the way things are going!!
But the interesting thing on the photo from the Greg Lemond book is that it appears it was a standard front band on deraileur that Z used on the TVT frame even though the tube sizing is supposed to be different only 2 mm but who wants to chance cracking a frame!
I also have a seen a photo of Fondriest on a TVT framed time trial bike badged as a Panasonic PR6000. It had the split head tube painted over.
Normally I post when I have the bike frame finished. This is actually better as I am getting great input from everyone. I will check the frame number in the morning and post it too.
Regards,
Pat
