Actually, I just wrote Mark about this, and there is some wiggle room in the timing. Pegoretti was Piniarello's contract builder from 1991 through 1997. He built a number of frames for Indurain; the measurements are in the files. Indurain's earlier years were probably TVT's (can't say I know personally). He may have had a TVT for certain uses later in his career as well, as there was plenty of cross-dressing going on. But, for the greater part of his tour-winning years, they, and all other Piniarello's, were Pegorettis.

Interestingly enough, it is precisely because of these discussions that current team suppliers have iron-clad contracts with their teams and riders. There's too much money involved for these questions. You no ride the sponsor's bike, you no ride on the team.
