I think these came out about '88 (apologies to Dale), and came in a bunch of colors. I have them in lime green, purple, dark blue, and yellow. I've seen them in red, light blue, white, black, tan, celeste, bright pink, gray, and I vaguely recall an orange. They came in both a campy style and a modolo anatomic styles, and also for weinmann/dia-compe and dia-compe aero levers.
