Here's a pic of one:

And guess what I just found!
Just a quick shot as I put it back together.
Now this is not one of the Greg Lemond signed limited run ones that I can tell. The ones I've seen had a decal on the seat tube indicating which number they were. I've also noticed some differences on these but don't know what it means. Some pics I found online had the number hanger and some didn't. Some had the Gan decals and some didn't. From what I've seen the ones with the Gan Decal have the number hanger. This one is built up with a Campagnolo Racing T 8 speed groupset. Bars are 3TTT Ergo power due and the stem is a Nitto Techtronics. There's Campagnolo hubs on it and from the one partial label I'd say the rims are Mavic's of some kind. I can make out a UB Control so I'm thinking Mavic.
One thing too, the rear brake bridge appears to be on backwards. My four other Billato built bikes are oriented the other way. Sort of makes it unique in my book!
This may not be as fancy as other's grail bikes but for me it's one I've really wanted. Not to get cleaning it up and sorting it out.
