Does someone have color swatches or pictures of painted frames with the selection of all available colors that were made available for Super Corsa and/or TdF for the years 70-78? Thanks in advance.

Check my post:

Note:

1. The flamboyant (candy apple) colors frequently faded.

2. There were many flavors of light blue.

3. Digital cameras, PC video boards and monitors frequently skew the colors.

4. Pick a color that you like and I'll tell you if it's correct??? Wink

I'm guessing that there were 13-15 different colors during the Bike Boom foil Decal era. Also, there were some colors that were used on European bikes that weren't very common in the US.

There was a reduction of color choices post Foil Decal plus a few new colors such as silver. The cosmetics "generally" improved too.

Chas.
