I've never seen one in the flesh, so to speak, but I have a couple of good pictures in some books. Unfortunately, they are at home and I am not, but send me an email sometime after June 1 and I can at least give you a reference. I think one sold on eBay a few years ago.

As I recall, they weren't all that streamlined, actually rather clunky. Kinda like a fiberglass shell with an ordinary seat and handlebar sticking out. Cinelli Laser was much cooler looking.
