NO They are both TVT frames But the one in the thread is a replica (for want of a better expression) ITS not even a replica Banesto HM TVT. Like I said it has the wrong decals & its been resprayed. If you do a few searches for Banesto TVT there are images of Indurain & Delgardo both riding RED (Renyolds Team) versions of the TVT & the White (Banesto team) versions of the TVT HM. ALWAYS the MH VERSION with the engraved head & seat lugs.
The Teams always used the HM version which was 15-20% stiffer than the standard HR version.

This is a Standard HR version Compare the top tube decals between the Banesto & the Lemond. The Lemond one is the Genuine one.
I used to sell these frames back in the late 80's to early 90's. They also did a Low pro version
This is a TVT HM Badged up as a concorde it give better photos of the lugs etc

Hope that explains it for you? As I'm shite at trying to explain things to people.
