"Hi Kevin,

My understanding is as yours; one year 1984.? There are very few of them in the USA.? Dale Brown has a white one hanging in his shop, Matty Gorski has a red one and I have a silver one.

I once asked Steven Maasland about the bike and he told me Ernesto hated the design and he only built it as a style exercise.

I think there are fewer than 125 Master Eq's in the USA.

FWIW, here's the link to?a Celo Europa catalog in the bulgier archives in which the Master EQ appears:

The pricelist according to the archives dates from 1985. It listed as "per Marcel Calborn (Equilateral)," almost as if the implication is that idea for the design was Calborn's. Also, note the price difference between that model and the other Colnagos listed (including the Arabesque).
