I absolutely love that bike.. I cant take my eyes off it...! Its made my day as well ....

I am depressed today as I am at work.. The sun is blazing down, The Tour de Conemara Sportif is on and Bernard Hinault (The Badger) is a guest rider..

Id love to go up to Clifden with a La Vie Claire jersey on that bike and see what he thinks... Id say you would make his day ...

Or he would box the ears off you and take it back..... :shock:

Thanks for that Boy... Stunning..

stringfellow1946: Do you have any photos of the '86 La Vie Claire team carbon bikes? I want to repaint a vintage TVT in those colors and am looking for the layout, colors and sticker/decal placement. Thanks.

Hi Walter The La Vie Claire team carbon bikes bikes are just the plain carbon weave no paint. Just check the photos I have posted. But they were made by TVT.
The one I have is based around the 1987 version when they changed from campagnolo to Shimano. The 1986 ones used the C-record groupset & I think they were either 753 Steel or silver painted carbon frames. Check greg lemond on google & see if there are any photos of the 1986 team bike.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the input. I had thought the '86 cf bikes were black exposed weave tubes (like in '87), but the closer I look at the photos (some attached), the more I think you are correct and that they are silver painted (like the steel frames). I am trying to find some good side photos to be able to duplicate the paint job and decal placement...
