Finished building this bike.

Still have no information on it and tried to do it in period Mavic equipment.

The Mektronic electric shift is from late 90's and shifts very,very fast and very well both up and down.

Bike is too small for me and the teardrop shaped seatpost makes it hard to find something longer.

Bike is not really pleasent to ride, sort of like an old high strung sports racing car, It is quite stiff and wheels make strange noises but seem to flex a bit.

But once moving she goes fast quickly.

One day will get history of what this is and until then who knows. Does have some delta features and maybe special for someone.

Still no info on this bike but here are links to detail photos.

Delta type aero tubing and forks. Aero details around the rear stay attachment. Flat blade rear stays.

Mavic Headset, Brakes cranks. I added the wheels and mektronic.
Atax carbon blade bars. (early effort at carbon with steel stem and very heavy)

Aero seat post (rare Shimano 600 AX) reworked.

All cables passed inside tubes.

Headset tube cut down on sides for "less drag" and reinforced as is the profiled bottom bracket. (diameter of tire)

Finished weight is 9,5 kilos.

I still believe that this is a factory bike since it is made too well and perhaps a proto.
