There are Rebour drawings of this show bike in The World of Daniel Rebour and The Data Book. Unclear to me if the show bike was the actual Hour Bike or the backup bike all dolled up for the trade shows or if there was a third that Ernesto had made up? Anyone else want to wade in (the water's fine)..."
