Does anyone know whether it is at all possible to purchase this Bottecchia TT frame that Lemond rode to his incredible comeback success at the '89 TDF anywhere? Or a similar steel "lo-profile" (650/700 wheels) frame with the slight "webbing" at either end of the top tube, where it joins the down & seat tubes? I know that this same frame from 1989 was simply repainted & used by Lemond for the 1990 season with the Z Vêtements team & in the past, I have seen similar-looking Litespeed frames, as well as a couple produced by other manufacturers.

Anyway, thanks heaps for your time & ANY assistance of ANY type re: this search of mine would be INCREDIBLY appreciated, as I already own exact replicas of the neon yellow ADR-Agrigel TVT92 Carbone that he rode through the mountainous stages, as well as an identical replica of his red/white Bottecchia steel, lugged frame that he rode through the "standard" (meaning non-time-trial), flatter stages - so it would be AMAZING to own all 3 replicas of the bikes that he rode during this incredible edition of the '89 Tour.
