Hi Dale:
Colnago can be criticized for many things but lack of market savvy was never
one of them. As I remember he had a set of Arabesque lugs on display in his
Cambiago office for years. The current anniversary bike with Arabesque lugs
hearkens back to the 1980's.
Colnago may be crazy but, as they say, crazy like a fox.
Here's an image of an Arabesque with the paintwork and clear coat done by
