• The mystery is from my googling it doesn't look like Lietti ever rode for ADR. He did race for Malvor Bottecchia Sidi for 1988

    This is just a hypothesis, but could it be a 1988 bike allocated but maybe never issued to Lietti as a Malvor rider and then returned from the service course to the factory and refinished to be issued to ADR for the 1989 season?

  • Thanks, yeah I guess that's a possibility too.

    I think the Bottecchia factory burnt down in recent years, so I doubt there's any actual remaining records there, and from my experience of Italian frames their records were not great even when the factory wasn't incinerated :)

    I'm not on Facebook or Twitter or anything but would be great if I can find a contact for Marco and ask him.
