Here's a shot that I've not seen before. It's of Laurent Fignon checking out the concept Gitane TT machine from 1988.

Here's the link to the same machine in the 1988 French catalogue;

I remember buying the magazine in which that picture/article was placed: It was in a Miroir du Cyclisme. Extremely hard to get in my neck of the woods...had to go to the "fancy" bookstore to find the magazine, and it cost an arm and a leg.

One of the participants at the `l`historique` that year told me
the machine plus an `ordinary`Delta is collected in a museum
in Paris.

Stephan,

Thanks for the reference and well done on getting that edition.

Holger,

It would be good to see both machines together. I've never seen either other than through photographs. Thanks for the info.

Tim

...I don't have it anymore. I bought it in 1988...when it was new. I remember the picture and had no clue as to what the text said@
