Saddle angle above was slightly off, so today's ride resolved that.

Since I've got the new frame and seen it up close, I thought it would be useful to document some of the differences between my previous 89 Bottecchia and this (alleged) Team one. I've already previously noted the Team one has external top tube routing compared to the internal top tube routing on my previous frame. This Team one also has extra Bottecchia decals on the fork and chainstays, and has what looks like period correct Regina, Wolber and Mavic stickers



My previous one had cut outs on the chrome lugs on the headtube and seatstay lugs, while the Team one has no cut outs on the chrome headtube and seatstay lugs.

Also my old one had longer painted red 'socks' on the chainstay, where the red paint goes beyond the lugs, seen here:

The Team one has red ankle socks, with the red only going as far as the lug....

And finally, on my old one, and all the other non Team ones I recall seeing, the italic 'B' on the top of the fork crown was painted in white. but on the Team ones the 'B' is painted red.

I've got these 2 Mario Schifano jerseys designed for the 89 TDF to wear.

The dots on the KOM one has profiles of famous mountains from the tour.
