Lovely bike, lovely build. One of the best from bitd. 
I couldn't agree more. A build this great needed that changed for it to be perfect. Excellent work and fun to watch this one!
This is lovely super build sir.
I think that this pattern is Rasta - the Jelly Bean ones are the separated brush strokes.
I have a the same frame, Moto stem & bonty fork in the garage that is ear marked for a very similar build but with silver as the fork is a chrome one. My frame is right border line ‘patina vs down right scruffy’ not mint like yours - I have toyed with having it repainted but the history of those hand brushed rasta stripes means it’ll probably just stay that way
How did you look up your frame number?

That is gorgeous.
IMO, these are the best riding bikes of the period, I’ve owned and ridden klien attitude, merlin, pace rc100, gt xizang, marin team ti, kona hei hei all around the 1990/91 vintage, not sure what it is but the Salsa has always been #1 for me - guess that’s why I sold the rest and ended up with two of these 
Do regret selling the Xizang though, and the FRO…
