Subject: [CR]Masi color question

I've noticed that almost all the Masis I've seen lately have some of the cut-outs painted with an accent color. Was this a typical detail done by the factory? Also, there was a link posted with a Masi brochure photo, see http://www.ventoux.com/masi2.jpg If you read the text portion it indicates that Tom Simpson road a Masi badged as a Peugeot, this was news to me, not surprising, just the first and only time I've read this. This leads to another question, what lugs did Masi use? I know that Masis built in the US used Dubois lugs, did the Italian built Masis also use them? Then if Tom Simpson road a Peugeot badged Masi, did they switch to Nervex Pro lugs to complete the illusion of a Peugeot?
