Best guesses-- sold from about '79-85. I have #13 ( first hundred were hand made at the factory and badged) and it is the grey blue. However, I have seen all kinds of parts combos on them-- including Dura Ace AX cranks and derailleurs ( which really fit the spirit) alongside Campy brakes and super record parts, and know of other colors available. I am going to talk about the aero period at the Cirque and the tizzy it sent Italian manufacturers into. They were unprepared for aero components so you have sleek Laser frames with Cobalto brakes(non-aero levers) and then other manufacturers doing the dirty deed(specing Shimano AX parts).
