Hi Don, I saw one other bike in Salmon at last year's Velo Rendezvous, it was a "Team" bike that had been brought to this country from South America. The owner thought it had been specially painted for a South American team, interesting if it was a stock, alternate color. My recollection is it was sort of like Campell's Tomato Bisque soup, with some cream added. I bought some Fiammes from the owner (on ebay) and this was the first time I met him. You gotta love events like Chuck's and Dale's. He's a list member, perhaps he still has it?
