I am almost certain that this is exactly the frame because ale parts are correct. The head tube was changed to use it with stadard fork, but you can see the welds and the place where the cutout for handlebar was (I pictured it one of the photos). My guess is that this is a frame from the end of the 80s or early 90s - it had some parts from Dura Ace 7400 group.... Now i need help from you. I need a picture of fork and handlebar and how they where assembled I think i will need to make them from scratch. Also i need to know in what color theme should it be done. I am still hesitating to commite to it because i dont have to much money - specially when i think about the handlebar, i am not worring about fork and the frame so if someone want to buy it please let me know. Thanks! Tricky part   Posted: Sun Jun 22, 2014 11:03 am Frenchbuilt Joined: 18 Apr 2007 Posts: 443 interesting...over the years people can modify anything and everything. The original bars are made of welded up aluminum and can be made but could take a bit of time/money. Since there are so few Deltas around, nice find no matter what you eventually do with it.   Posted: Mon Jul 28, 2014 2:02 am adam_b83 Joined: 09 Feb 2012 Posts: 16 Location: Melbourne, Australia the angle of the head tube fairing looks like a delta, how it has a bit of an angle. great find, it will be a good project!   Posted: Fri Aug 01, 2014 12:25 pm CurtEgerer Joined: 14 Sep 2013 Posts: 39 Location: United States Fignon 1987.   Posted: Sun Aug 17, 2014 1:00 pm zamocno Joined: 27 Feb 2014 Posts: 7 Anyone knows how Delta handlebars were made?
