Larry, Thanks for the info. The bike I saw did not have any colored panels and I think that the lettering was either black or gold. It wasn't an International as that model was produced for many years and easily identifiable. It has been over thirty (30) years so who knows what I REALLY saw?

I think Larry Black has one hanging in his Mt. Airy, MD bike shop. Don't recall it having a sloping crown tho'.

Most of the Comps I remember were black, but someone dumped off a white one, script lettering, with blue panels, to me last week

Zeus and some very basic stuff, still 531 butted, kind of relaxed.

The intl's were the ones just under the pro, and most had Wrinmann centerpulls.

Some pros had these stoppers but most Campag std reach sidies
