yes. i almost bought a track bike a few years ago off of ebay.it, but i had just ordered a bob jackson frame and fork. the frame was labelled Petenella on the downtube, 59cm, had ok parts on it. very steep angles and unique paint job.

i really wish i would've bought that one. never seen or heard of another. the guy mentioned something about it being custom built for a certain rider. I guess Petenella was the riders name...never found out much about it. http://www.bikeraceinfo.com/oralhistory/kund.html petenella is mentioned as a sprinter here in that link.
