Hi Steve,
Those may have been Protar models. I think Protar has models of Saronni's 83 Colnago Mexico, a 70s Legnano Roma, and a couple of others that I don't remember. I've never seen one in person, but I understand they are quite detailed and faithful reproductions.
They come up occasionally on eBay. I'm always on the lookout for the Colnago model, but they always seem to sell for more than I can afford at the moment :(

I hope this is on topic. About 10 years ago while in Mexico, I saw in
a department store a number of beautiful scale models of 1950-1970s
era lightweight European racing bikes. Probably 1/6th scale. If I
remember correctly they were around $75. each and well worth it. I
didn't have a way to get one home and so passed, but wish I could
find one or more now. Does anyone know of these or similar and where
they might be found? ebay usually has decent American balloon tire
cruiser models, but the ones that I saw were far superior and on topic.
