Merckx/Molteni question
Is anyone familiar with Merckx "Molteni" bikes in any other original color than the orange we're all familiar with?
I'm looking at a Merckx with full Molteni decals that is 100% original, purchased in or around 1983 that is a very light silver.
I love the Molteni orange bikes, have always wanted one so I'm forever looking at them and have seen tons but never in any color other than "Molteni" orange. And no, this is not a repaint or custom job. It's a 100% original full Super Record bike.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Silver Moltenis exist
I've seen them. Although they are not as common as the orange ones. In my opinion it's gotta be orange if a Merckx were to wear the Molteni decals.

I could be wrong, but I remember white, which could have been silver in a black and white photo, but it was a long time ago, and there were mind altering substances in the air...

I've seen a few silver Merckx with Molteni colors, but I'm in Belgium.
