http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=PqlSIM0 With Dale's permission I'm posting the following information (it regards a bike that's KOF but OT). Mr. Granzotto, the former owner of ICS, informs me that the marking "857" on the bottom bracket shell of the ICS Magni "Premier" frameset currently on eBay, signifies that this is the 7th example of a series of 25 such chrome plated "Premier" frames that were made, and that it was made in 1987. I have also provided a contemporary image of a "Premier" shown as a complete ICS bike with an ICS group. The second image shows Paolo and Ersnesto Colnago, Artemio Granzotto (beard and glasses), and Roman Hermann, a former pro-cyclist and a Colnago dealer in Switzerland. This image was taken at the Eurobike show in 1987.
