Help with lemond tvt carbon
Hello to this forum. About a year ago I saw this bike on ebay, about 2 months ago I dug up the # to the shop...done. The bike is new, never owned never riden, has minor bike shop scratches(workin on those). The told me it was an 89. Now due to what ive seen I think thats true, Ive also heard of these early Lemonds and trying to figure the saticker set issue of only having the 86 tour win and the jr worlds, pro worlds on the frame. This is where I need help, the tvts Ive seen and heard of from 89 do not have tvt on the top tube, do not have GL on the headtube. If it is an 89 how does it have the team Z paint, also 89 tvts do not have the tvt stamp in the lugs(such as head and seat tube), it has 7 speed retro friction and the 3.5mm delta nut. Again the bike is new, dont ask me what i paid, I can tell you Ive wanted one since i started racing in 88. Here are a couple pics and thank you for any help.

The TVT frames were essentially Vitus frames with carbon tubes instead of aluminum. We had some samples at Trek in 1985 when we were debating whether to re-badge an existing carbon frame or develop our own.
