While most of your were having so much fun at Le Cirque, the rest of us were sadly and wearily browsing away on ebay...and I came across this:

http://ebay.com/<blah>

Odd dt and st graphics (as in, I've never seen those on a Mondia special before), and lugs that look like they belong on a Mondia Super, while the paint looks like it belongs on a Mondia Special..also note the fork-crown, which is not the same Nervex Pro that came on every Mondia Special I ever saw.

I wonder if this was the very last of smoke/fade Specials...graphics style giving way to the late 70s/early 80s look?
