Thanks…this is inline with my previous listing that I was looking for such a bike.

1997 was the first year that Zandio rode for Banesto's amateur team. I'm surprised they were still using lugged steel then.

Olano in 97 on steel lugged.

Shots of an NOS-97-8 Pinar Vuelta look right too

Go go headtube extension for Olano.

But fiamme hit it on the head, looks like he was on the development squad in 1997. Not the top tier team.

Not sure if the amateur team used a different color scheme, but I remember the 97 Banesto guys on white frames.

Frame seems to be in decent shape otherwise. Chrome looks good, etc.
