I also owned the Dura-Ace AX model, the Image, and it was round tubed, as shown in the catalogues. Finally, I was competing and coaching during this era and particpated in many of the same events as the Bloor Cycle Team. Looking back though the old photos, I can only find Bloor members on stock Supra with Campagnolo SR. Consequently, the existance of such a bicycle, suggests a specialty model, something that Vélo Sport did not market to the public. As I'm sure you are aware, it's an age old practice for cycling teams to apply their bicycle supplier's decals to machines not marketed or manufactured by them..
No need to be sorry. What information you have supplied goes a long way to explaining why I have never been able to find another Velo Sport Aero frameset with Dura Ace AX components on it.

So, I guess if I want an aero frameset with Dura Ace AX components on it I'll need to be looking for a frameset other than a Velo Sport.

Thanks again for all your help.

Cheers
