The '85 sticker is for a Bottechia winning the the Italian national championships, the 89 sticker for Lemond winning world championships. Is there perhaps another sticker to commemorate the 89 TDF win?
No, surprisingly enough the crazy kitbashed running gear is more or less how they came.


(not the image I thought it was, there was another one with the different component groups.)

I had one of these myself, mine had suntour radius shifters, tripmphe cranks and FD, and a suntour RD.







Here's an album with more images of mine, mostly after the clean and revamp- https://imgur.com/a/DGEPs

I gave her a clean and put a 9s veloce group on it. Sadly it didn't fit, so it lives in the bay area now and is ridden by a young man very excited to be on a supremely flamboyant piece of italian steel.




For whatever reason, I didn't think the lower level ones came around until AFTER Lemond's 89 tour win.
