This indicates that Olé was not available in very late 1987, by which time the 1988 groups would typically have been introduced. However, the 1988 Club Fuji and 1988 Nishiki International were both spec'd with Olé. Clearly there is a discrepancy. It almost sounds like Olé's development may have been delayed and that it was introduced sometime during 1988, between the typical introduction dates for the 1988 and 1989 models. Maybe we should call it 1988-1/2?
