After a series of emails with a representative, I learned that they were custom made, and while I was offered one for sale, shipping was prohibitively expensive.
If you can stomach the shipping costs (close to $50 I think), or live more locally, you can try emailing them, otherwise, you should pursue a different approach.
Super! Thank you. I read that it was shipped on Santos bike, but that they are custom made explains pretty well that I never could find the model!
Will contact them, Netherlands to France is closer and maybe going thru my LBS (which is run by a friend) might make things even simpler/cheaper.
