I just picked up a new "mystery" bike that qualifies for this fade thread. So let me share it here. Nice how the green fade runs parallel to the length of the tubes.

I'm trying to find that out myself. Right now a lot of folks seem to think it might have been the Belgium builder Martelly.

Martelly responded back to my inquiry. He made it in 1985 and it is Columbus SL. He also mentioned having several vintage frames on hand for sale in case anyone is interested.

Resurrecting this one with a few old school fades I have here. Nothing spectacular, but indicative of the time they were built.

Land Sharks fade in their own way.

Time to go back through this thread in search of a Zukas.
