Lemond 1989 TT bike question...

Ruimteaapje · Jul 9, 2018

I know that Lemond used a Bottecchia-labeled TVT for the mountain stages but what was his TT bike? Something genuinly from the Bottecchia catalogue or also something camouflaged?

Also, any info on the type of saddle and bottle/bottle holder?

Saddle looks like a Rolls, judging from that definite shoulder at the back corner.
I think the bottle is a Profil. See below:

Different saddle on that one...looks like a San Marco Regal.

Re:

.......with regards to the saddle in the first picture, the glint on the nose and the back edge put me in mind of this Campagnolo example?.

The saddle in the photo of Greg is one of these I think?.
