Greetings campers and color coordinators I've seen several Ints over the years that really were silver. Up close and personal, with my own beady little eyes. Among those rare moments when I removed my vintage heavyweight Ray-Bans with true-color grey lenses, just to be certain. They do exist. Just not very many of them. Don't ask me why. I don't know. Because they ran out of champagne paint that day? Because the spray guns were loaded with silver paint and nobody was buying silver Pros that week? Because the frames accidentally went past the guy with silver in his spray gun? This is Raleigh we're talking about here. Anything is possible. Would be interesting to know the serial number on this one though.
