Hi Chuck,
Are you talking about the bike that Brian repainted a few years back for an East Coast collector?
If so, I was the one who unearthed that bike and sold it to the guy. BTW it was WAY too nice to repaint IMHO... But anyway, I don't recall it saying "team" on it. If necessary I could call the guy who owns it. I don't think he is on the list.
