No, your paint scheme, often called the "Jamaican scheme" for obvious reasons, was pretty common through all of their models. They had a lot of crazy combo's that started around 85 and I guess the 2 and 3 tone paint schemes became their trademark.

My Basso is violet and a jade-like green. Yes, violet and green! Sounds ugly, but it is really quite attractive. The mid eighties became a time when frame builders really took license with their paint jobs, especially the Italians.
