Any Data etc on Dale Saso

I got this of listing
This is a beautiful, Saso track frame and fork. Custom built by Dale Saso in California (1980's). Very light weight. Fully fillet brazed joints. Most likely Imron paint, as that was very common on his frames. Rear track dropouts are heavy-duty (unmarked), front dropouts are Campagnolo.
Mr Saso didn't mark his frames very well, so the frame tubing is unknown, and there are no serial numbers. I bought this in a lot of three Saso bicycles, and this was the only one that even had decals on it.
Anyone own one? Any photos to add? Any data of his frames?
Thanks
Charles

This showed up on eBay under my "fillet-brazed" saved search last week or so.
I have absolutely no info on the builder, but the frame looks nice.
I cannot tell, however, if the texture in the paint is actual texture, or just tricks of the light.
