Whoa! For a second I thought I forgot I wrote what Steve did. That was MY p13 I bought that year. After regrettable unloading it way back, I found a '73 that I adopted. When the 50th's came out in (86?) I ordered black with gold trim.

Around here, Imrom 44426 (deep metallic Blue) was a Proteus Signature color, along with a similar Brown and a Green. Trek used that Blue on many a model as well, as did Serotta.
