Randy Buckley, principle in Masi Worldwide, was greatly impressed with OMAS for some reason.

Stuff didn't sell well, seems everyone wanted Campy. Some few framesets may have been sold with OMAS parts, but not many.

I'd have to check with Ted or Tom, since they were more involved with the assembly end of things.
