“This Arabesque frame with the Fleur de Lyse cut lugs was one of the last of the limited series that were produced. There was a commercial arrangement with Rauler to build certain frames under contract to Colnago, namely the CX Aero, The Colnago RDV, the Saronni Colnago and the Arabesque. There was a beakdown in the relationship towards the end of the production run of Colnago frames, and it is my guess that this frame was constructed in Cambiago at the Colnago factory. Note the unusual hidden rear brake cable housing. “
