That's what we called them, too, Rich. I do believe that Reynolds had something to do with that, but memory fails me.
Those are beautiful bicycles! Reminds me greatly of those days when I spent many an hour on my bike --- an Italian Gios, with Campy Super Record throughout. Was saving up for a Masi. Then I got married. Still trying to decide if I made the right choice. :>))) Anyway, this brings back fond memories of a day when steel reigned and bikes were sleek and looked so doggone good And, it is true. I rode my bike over all sorts of terrain. Of course, it was good to have it shod with clinchers and not sew ups. Great post! Thank you. Karl
