i have recently bought one of these bikes from the same team with dag otto lauritzens name on it. mine is complete with all dura ace components. i had the same story of the bike having been used in the tour de france. i did some research and found the year to be 1994, the last year he did the tour de france. i am happy that the bike is original and was ridden in the tdf as i found it tucked away in the back of a bike shop having been there for a long time. the owner had contacts with the team too.
the fact that your bike doesn't have any original components makes me think it would have been a spare frame that someone has built up. i would still consider it quite an important frame though.
as a collector i always thought that owening a bike that was in the tdf would be a great bike to find. it's such a historic race that any bike from any era would be quite a thing to find i think.
