Chuck,

I think the bikes built in Monterey, CA were preceeded with a "0" in the serial number. I repainted that beauty, but I don't recall the serial number since that was several years ago. The original owner of that bike was Jerry Fuller, younger brother of cyclist Ken Fuller of Riverside, CA. The virgin Confente that Mike Kone has is the "brother" of this bike. This one is 54cm. I believe "032" would be the number on it if it was number 32 built in Monterey.

Brian Baylis La Mesa, CA Run for the window! The puppy is lightin' 'em off!
