With all the talk of DX and STIs it has to be at least 1990, one magazine pic on that thread confirms 1990

There's two 1991 brochures showing different colours for different markets so I guess they did it in 1990 too.

Yeah think your right with the alternative "euro" 1990 colour schemes...although I though that Biopace was fazed out by 1990?

Checking the brochures all groupsets had a choice of "Biopace SG" or round from 90 to 92. Biopace SG (and HP in 1989) were a lot less oval than the originals.

Some makers stuck with it for a bit but it's rare on high-end bikes and hard to spot anyway (triangular sticker).

Sweet bikes, and the orange Team Issue, yummy.

Strange looking forks on that frame though. I thought TI's came with Ritchey Logics? My 91 was listed as having them. I also thought the 91 had a unique chainstay design, zooming into this image I see the same looping stays joined with a larger dia tube at the bb.

Does anybody recognize the straight blade forks shown in the catalog?

Marin 1989 catalogue maybe 88 in French tho.
