Hi Bob, What was the difference between the Specialissima and the Team Issue?.....was it the same frame but with a higher spec gruppo?

Just put some pics up on my flickrsite of the restoration of my Specialissima.......obviously its a ongoing project, so more to come. http://www.flickr.com/photos/kevin_sayles_bikes/
