I have seen pictures of MI in his Reynolds team days; the whole lot of them rode TVT's with Pinarello decals. I have also seen a picture of him on another TVT with later markings @ Banesto-color Pinarello bike. Hard to think of a worse match of rider to bike unless maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger on a Vitus!
