Confentes had either a Pro-Strada or Pro-Pista decal on the chainstay. These were designed for Confente by Fred Ferrari (was Art Director at Foster-Kleiser Outdoor Advert years ago) who was a very close personal friend of Mario's (Fred and Irene Ferarri sponsored Mario's immigration into the US?). The same decal was also used on Medici bikes (Rexart owned both Medici and Confente companies).
