Highly detailed decals in white and black, top tube decals have gold outlines and prancing horse logo.

Aerodynamically positioned shifter levers attach to unique and distinctive Somec-designed aluminium fitting mated with a special braze-on fitment on the inner upper face of the down tube.
Paired with a Somec fork with an integrated semi-sloping crown with detailed engraving.
White fork upper fades to candy red, hand striped division between chromed three quarter blades.
