I remember that the Crescent sales rep. left one of those at a local shop for a month? That was about 1972/3.At the time it was new,the lugs were actually gold painted.Which of course would turn brownish in no time.I only remember that the SS frame was touted as different in the material.But there of course could be many details I am ignorant of-as usual.At the time I was excited to see anything remotely like european racing bikes of the day.UO 8's were exciting!Especially here in Mayberry-er-Waynesboro Va,Harris Spracher
