TVT - 92 Carbone - Bicycle - 1992

TVT 92 CARBON – A MASTERPIECE IN CYCLING HISTORY (WEIGHT: APPROX. 8.6 KG)

Dive into the golden age of professional cycling with this TVT 92 Carbon, a true icon of the 1990s. At a time when steel still dominated, the French brand TVT (Technique du Verre Tissé) revolutionized the peloton with pioneering carbon frames. This model is not just a collectible bicycle, it’s a piece of legend: TVT frames led the greatest champions, such as Greg LeMond, Miguel Indurain, and Pedro Delgado, to victory in the Tour de France. This TVT 92 embodies the perfect fusion of French aerospace engineering and precision craftsmanship.

This specimen, dating from 1992, comes in a deep ruby red livery that lets the carbon weave shine under light. The 52 cm frame (c-t) is composed of carbon tubes joined by polished aluminum lugs, an industrial yet refined aesthetic typical of this technologic transition period. The condition is exceptional: the frame has been inspected, prepared, and preserved with utmost care. Structural rigidity is intact, ready for display or to hit the road again.
