The one depicted by Rootboy (blue) was from the ebay link above. If you follow that link, it tells the provenance. Commissioned by watchmaker George Daniels, met Confente in Palm Springs, CA, a later thank you letter to Confente -dated 1977, number 58, plus bb stamped 595 (perhaps for size 59.5?), unusual with eyelets and chainstay bridge drilled for mudguards. Curious if this one was designed more as a relaxed sport rider. Bike originally resided in the UK.
