I've been inspired by sinnett177's magnificant Adrian Timmis build, but at the same time remaining realistic about the likelihood of finding one of what must be a very small number of Team frames from this period. I'd really like to get a Team-colours frame from this period, so which other tubesets and frame materials were used?
I've seem the cheaper ATT-23 steel version with horizontal top tubes and unicrown forks, but was there a higher-end steel version? Then which Dyna-Tech framesets were available in Team colours? The Team frames were the XMT 100 Metal Composite Titanium Tubing, but were any of the 'more mundane' DynaTech frames painted up in the classic yellow and blue.
In fact, I'm probably mostly interested in the DynaTech variants. I now have the various Team liveries from the 70's to 90's on a selection of road frames spanning all the tubesets - 753, 653, 531, 501 and 18-23. It would be great to get a DynaTech as well, and the yellow/blue is the obvious missing colour scheme for me.
I know that some road frames were made in these colours, but they seem even more scarce than the mtb's - and in any case I identify these colours more strongly with mtbs than road bikes.
Cheers,
Gareth.
