The USA Importer for a while was Dohnnie Einhorn in Florida at Amber Cycle Sports (Where is he now?) He also imported Paletti, Somec and Assos clothing and components. Dohnnie is an eccentric but knowledgeable bicycle guy who always had the most outrageous stuff at Bike Shows. ICS customized items fit right in as they were expensive, extremely well executed and attractive. I took a couple of pics of a Somec in his booth early to mid 1980s that show this extreme in customizing:

Fun stuff which exemplify the peak of the panto/customize era!
