This sounds distinctly like a frame Salmon / Salomon (sp)? The same (swiss?) company who produce the thin aluminium-alloy mudguards that look like they've been made by a curtain track manufacturer. It was heavilly ribbed all over, and finished in white and coral pink, fading from white to pink in a lattice effect. Kinda like Brian Baylis might spray through a set of fishnet stockings.... It also was so short a wheelbase, the tread of the tyre sat in a hollow depression in the seat tube.... Probably (at a guess) from the mid to late 80s
An exceptionally lightweight frame but about the worst paint job you've ever seen...

BTW If Scwinn didn't recognise the word "cotter" what did they call cotterless cranks ?
