Hi all,
Bit of a favour request - I've been a big fan of the old Carrera team since I was a kid and now that I have a bit of spare money have decided the time has come to build a couple of retro / Carrera team bikes. I've been lucky enough to source an ex-team issue TT frameset, no idea who it belonged to although it does have Pantani's name on it!! I never thought I'd get the TT frame, but I did!! So then the hunt started for a road frame - and recently one turned up on eBay which I brought.
Cut a long story short, the guy I brought the road frame from said his uncle rode for the team for a bit - and then on speaking to them when we collected the frame it turns out his mum is Stephen Roche's sister!!
What I now need to do it try and figure out the EXACT kit that was on the Carrera team bikes so I can build true replica's. The only decent image I've managed to find so far is this one:
..which is handly as I've also got a pair of 3G's for the TT bike!! Any pictures and/or details of the bikes they rode would be greatly appreciated. I'm not in a massive rush to build them, I just want to get them right
