Austro-Daimler smoked chrome SLE
I recently purchased an Austro-Daimler SLE and would like to find out as much information as I can about the bike. In particular I would like to know what year(s) the smoked chrome version was available. None of Puchultima's catalog scans seem to show it available in this color.

Were there a lot of these?

The bike is outfitted with Campy Nuovo Gran Sport front and rear derailleurs, Campy down tube shifters, Weinmann brake levers (drilled), Weinmann front and rear side pull brakes, Nervar cranks, Friko handlebars, SR stem, Gipiemme seatpost, and drilled sprocket (?). I'm not sure how much of this is original equipment.
