Hi,
Just sharing my current project. I saw this calfee tetra pro frame come up on ebay. I haven't seen too many come up over the years. It's branded as carbonframes, and it very similar to the carbon fibre bikes Greg Lemond used in 1991 and 1992. I am going to do a replica of the 1992 bike. It won't be exact, but it should be pretty close. The plan is to use C Record with ergolevers and deltas (they are first generation so it should be interesting to see if the stopping power is as bad as legend suggests). I am currently stripping back the lacquer, nearly there, but it will still take a couple of weeks. I have sent away for a colouring paste to add to the clearcoat to recreate that inky blue effect in the lacquer. I will do a test on a seatstay just to make sure the effect is correct.
I have nearly everything, just missing 44cm scott drop ins and the stem. Feel free to upload any images of the 1992 greg lemond badged calfees. I will upload any images I have as the build progresses. The wheels are just there for mock-up purposes, a nice pair of used campagnolo omega 19s with a cassette hub have since arrived.
Regards,
Pat
