'86 La Vie Claire team bike photos

[Walter]

I am thinking of repainting a frame in the '86 La Vie Claire team colors. Do any of you have some good resolution photos of the '86 TdF team bikes, particularly the TVT carbon ones so I can see the paint layout and the stickers/decals?

Thanks...

I don't, but that was the iconic kit of my youth. Love to see progress pics.

They were very basic silver, iirc, with the Look sticker on the headtube**.

**My bad. I think the simple silver paint jobs were on the 1985 La Vie Claire bikes. The 1986 753 frames had the color stripes across the tubes. Don't know about the carbon frames.

That picture of Jaanus Kuum looks like his head has been photoshopped on to the rest of the picture

Great stuff...thank you.

The carbon team bikes look to be different from the steel ones. Any more '86 carbon bike photos out there? That is what I am considering repainting.

Is it me, or does that BB shell look huge? How skinny were those frame tubes?
