'Fake ' Pro riders bikes

A lot of the 80's era olyimpic team bikes were ultra-high end panasonic bikes repainted for each team, peugeot and raleigh were both "guilty" of this as were schwinn and one or two other notable big names that escape me at the minute.
These tange framed bike were considered infinitely superior by many riders, in terms of build and over all feel not surprising panasonic "teams" bikes are extremely rare and desirable.

Miguel Indurain - His Pinarello's were made by Dario Pegorretti

Didn't a lot of riders have their frames made by Pegoretti? I read somewhere that Pegoretti designed a few frames for Giordanna as well. And didn't he design one model at least for Pinarello's line, the Radius? I would love to get my mitts on a frame that Pegoretti himself brazed.
