  • C40—(1993/4-) Full carbon first shipped with Precisa steel fork, later with carbon fork. First generation shipped with round tubes; later with Master profile carbon tubes bonded to carbon lugs.
The C40 and C35 are very nice machines. I think and far as I recall the C40 was Johan's Museeuw winning weapon and it was fitted with Shimano Dura Ace 7700. Let's not forget Trek USPS OCLV 5500 and 5900 with the Icon Carbon Air Rail fork used by Armstrong.
