I agree with Ben and others that have pointed out that the Super Corsa in the old picture was RED (I have a copy of the picture that I cut out of the mag. way back when...).
I could be wrong, of course, but personally I find this bike's "origin" to be highly suspect; anyone can engrave a stem (the frame size is about right, however...).
Shall we just ask Eric directly?
