Do you remember the brand or anything else, other than the color?
How long ago did you see the link here?

You might be right.
I posted a brown Luigino in the brown bikes thread (http://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=33449&) a few weeks ago, and rickygarni, who had his Luigino repainted in brown/coffee/cream, also posted his.

In the thread you linked above, rickygarni's Luigino is mentioned as having "won a prize at the recent Cirque du Cyclisme for the paint".

Hi–Ricky here.

That is my Pegoretti Luigino – thanks everybody.

For the record, it was painted by Joe Bell, and I really loved what he did.

The basic idea was a tri-chocolate color (white/milk/dark) and I was quite hesitant with the dark, thinking it just might appear to be dull black. Joe said "It can be done" I believed him (a little) and then was delighted when it arrived.

The original color was a sort of aquamarine. It had already been repainted by Tom Kellogg, who, as everyone knows, does incredible work, too. At first I wasn't going to repaint it because it had a 'serial number 1' on the bottom bracket (haven't discovered if this is really what it appears to be, or whether or not Dario just decided to stick with '1' for a while) but seeing that it had already been repainted I took the confectionary plunge.

Again, thanks to Joe, and everyone else, for the appreciations...

Ricky Garni

there was a beauty at the American Handbuilt Bicycle Show--that could be what you are remembering.
