Speaking of the dawn of CF, I think the first CF bike ridden in the TdF might have been this model
I regret selling this. I'd accumulated some of the Mavic SSC bits for the build, but the way the price of the remaining bits was going up, it was going to be a $1,700 bike when done, and I just didn't want it bad enough. The buyer is a friend and I have first dibs should he sell.

The dawn of CF bikes. If someone has the urge for a different and unique vintage road bike, this KG66 frameset could be interesting. Load it up with period Mavic. Guessing its 1985 / 86? If such, could qualify and ride l'eroica events.
Seller is asking $240
Look Carbon frame and fork

Guessed yet ?
PY10FC, super clean, I think around 1983. As ridden into the clouds by Robert Millar.
Interestingly, it is not just a rebadged Vitus Carbone. The tubes have a different (larger) diameter than the Vitus' CF tubes. Peugeot did something proprietary.
