Eddy Merckx Arcobaleno (rainbow) Neuron tubed frame.
I slapped good old Campagnolo ten speed on it with Ambrosio tubulars built by me and trued by someone who knew what he was doing.
These came after the MX Leader and follows a similar way of shaping the down tube which is a kind of horizontal oval at the bottom bracket end but goes to round at the headtube junction.
Semi-lugged construction ie: the headtube joints are fillet brazed but the bottom bracket and seatpost area are lugged.
It rides more like an Italian whippet than the Leader which felt stately and long-haul. Note the seatpost fixing bolt.
I'm guessing that Alu and then Carbon made the Arcobaleno less successful than the Corsa and Leader models.
