Searching through Portuguese forums and Portugal's version of craigslist was illuminating. While google couldn't translate the forum chat very well (slang?), I was able to guess that the brand is well known by vintage fans and liked for being local. Here are some pics of road bikes ( and one mountain bike) I found which give me an idea of how I could kit out my frame. Note the similarities in use of 501 tubes, internal cable routing and the retinato style painting, which seems to be a bit of a thing for this brand (though I've learnt that Colnago and other brands also got into that too in the mid-80s.)



I'll be doing my build with a mix of late 80s 105, ultegra and dura-ace stuff, hoping to make it look as nice as the dura-ace build with the red and white fade above.

thanks for everyones comments.
