l don't know how l missed this thread the first time round but what a fascinating read. l have the '97 catalogue in front of me and the bike Dario Cioni of ltaly is riding says Sex Three on the top tube, not sure about the forks but again they look like puny travel and canti's, an odd choice for a race bike in'96.

Interesting- didn't know Dario Cioni was an exmountain biker. fair proportion of the pro-peleton are ex-mountain bikers now.
The rebadging for sponsors is very very common in road racing.Chris Boardman rode Dolan built Cougars rebadged. I assumed this practice had stopped with more sculpted carbon frames,but it is still rife. Terry Dolan claimed on Eurosport commentary that there were 10 of his frames being ridden in the Vuelta that year.

Its interesting to note that they'd go to such lengths to hide a tube set within their range when the bike on page 5 http://www.konaretro.com/articles/catalogues/1997/97Page05.jpg isn't even a Kona.
I can't remember where its written but there is something from Kona at the time which talks about their inability to make lightweight race steel frames last the distance of a race without failing so I'm not surprised they paint something up to look like steel. Its the same thing Colnago did with their first C40 race bikes.
