But the original owner must have been a real weight-weenie as he opted for the supelight CLB brakes and the very light (and expensive) Campagnolo freewheel.
I wouldn't want to even hazard a guess at the current value. But it would be big bucks if parted out on Ebay.
I couldn't distinguish this from the aluminum ones, though I ID'd a carbon Vitus-built frame on here not long ago. That one was pretty obviously CF - how can you tell with this one? Color?
It's also useful to know that the carbon models would have existed at the same time as the first-gen. C-Record components - I might have expected the carbon frames to be later (though LeMond rode a carbon fiber frame in the '86 Tour, so it makes sense there would have been some on the market at that time).
