I was not aware of the existence of these. From the photo they appeared to me to be the classic road model, but it isn't clear from the photo.

I guess. Back in the day, lots of folks I knew used red labels on the rear, yellow on the front. I had my Sheldon Brown set up with a yellow on the rear and some sort of super-light Nisi track rim on the front. With Criterium Setas (which I could then buy for $11 each!) it was a sweet ride!
