I am wildly fond of the white bands on the red and to a lessor extent green mid 70's Super Course II's. Naturally I prefer the speed advantage of the red, but I found a marvelous example of a green one with Blumels, a lovely tan B17 and bar ends at a bargain price when my girlfriend was looking for a bike to give her son last summer. If I cold find a green mixte for her we'd be in hog heaven. Oh, wait. I'm in Iowa- this is hog heaven.
