that multi color dayglo fade was my favorite paint scheme back then. In the 80s I was so jealous that my racing team mate was having his custom built Serotta painted like that that I said to him all winter long while it was being built, that I hoped he crashed it in the first race of season. Yup, he crashed it in the first training series race. It was beyond repair. As he was waiting in the road for the ambulance, I said "dude your bike is effed", he said, "Thompson, come here" I moved over to him, he said "closer", I bent down near to his face, and with his good arm he popped me in the face. He was a golden gloves boxer in high school. He got me good. haha
