Rare Villiger TVT Team Helvetia La Suisse frame set in size 55. Made in the early 1990's by TVT in France, but labeled "Fabrication Suisse". The overall technical condition is good, with optical blemishes. There are a couple of scratches, but nothing that would really appear disturbing.
I got this frame from an ex german national youth team rider, who received this frame from his local club in the east of Berlin. The club was given frames from Swiss National Team as a donation, at a time when east german prodigy producing clubs had bursting leg muscles but none financially.
The club removed the original Villiger decals for sponsoring reasons, later on. All the TVT decals and the fabrication suisse decals are originals. There is a slight shade of the originals on the fork (take a closer look on the bottom of the R, you can se a hint of the original E and R)
Anyways, a nice frame with a typical racing history.
