who knows how it got there, by force somehow.

Steerer is probably Falck tubing.

even Bianchi could not keep Celeste color matched. There was a blog somewhere that made mention of the basic formula-
yellow, blue, white and black!
the black helps knock back the intensity.
there were basic ratios but one really has to go by eye.
Yep, seen the screw before, have seen zerk's and ports as well.

Really glad this frame found a good home, it was saved from what would likely have been a much lesser fate.

[MENTION=124730]SJX426[/MENTION] did a fantastic job on it IMO.
