Can someone date the year of this Lemond? The grahics or decals I've never seen before. The head tube decal looks like ones I've seen in the late 80's but the rest I've never seen before. This would have to be one of the earliest ones out there?

I only date really pretty bikes and this one's a tad beat. Is there a dowry?

Shimano 105 7 speed with Sach's Rival/Modolo/Mavic brakes tell me 1987-1989 (or close to it).

Frame is a pre-Trek Lemond with some sort of short lived, transitional decalling. I was looking at this earlier, thinking that it's a possible Della Santa. Still undecided on that but I doubt it. Looks Billato.

Front derailleur looks to be a 'Light Action' from '86.
