They look like Delta 2nd generation to me, even rarer

Did you get the Helvetia TVT we we talking about? as I see it was sold of best offer as soon as we spoke about it.

Have my eye on clincher version of those tyres, look to fit in on this bike so I may pull the trigger.

Yes indeed - I got the green frame set for my first quote. The seller had been the same Intention to build it up with a
Suntour Superbe Pro, but he has not enough passion to collect groupset, so he sold the framse set to me. It's in really good conditions a perfect base of the Suntour Superbe Pro PRO bike replica Project.

The groupset is nearly complete, only a Suntour Superbe Pro SP-SB00-L eatpost in 25.0mm is missing, but can substitutby a Taiwan retro looking Kalloy. Now I am looking for a corresponding jersery (see my Wanted -Thread) and for someone who interesting to produce the missing Stickers, ecpecially the Villinger for the down tube.

But remember our conversation about the painting - I think they couloured (not painting) the carbonfibre green too.

sorry I haven't no other pics - they are from Franjo

Sorry No I disagree the frames were sprayed what ever colour & then lacquered. Just look at the Lemond ones! no way is the carbon coloured.

...and what do you think about this here? For my opinion it's couloured carbon fibre

The Green on the seat tube & the rear Seat stays Is Sprayed on Paint.
Maybe the Lacquer is tinted Green? or maybe the gel coat is coloured.
Look where the paint / lacquer is is chipped & you will see black underneath.
I've had well over 20 of these throughout my hands as I used to sell them new in the shop. Plus I've never seen a coloured piece of carbon even in the factory here on the IOW where the stuff is manufactured, its always been black.
But I will ask a few of my friends that work on the manufacturing at SP Systems / Gurit & get them to check if they now make coloured carbon. as these frames are 25 plus years old.

it is all paint , gelcoat is a completely different product usually for styrenated resins (eg polyester and vinylester laminates), it is tinted clear and solid colour on the carbon/epoxy tubed Helvetica
