Thanks for the flash back!

I have worked on a few of the early tri-colores they were very cool bikes but not the most mechanic friendly.

16inch wheels were on most of them, wide oscams the same as the paso , not fun to change brake fluid.
Non-magnetic 1/2 rings meant you better have a good plan to R&R them from the valve stems.
Bodywork that was not the easiest to remove and replace.

I would imagine that frame had the coolant passage in the crossmember though I am sure it was not used.
