Scott, those are NOS Bluemels I found at my LBS. Bought lots in different colours. Masked and spray painted the stripes with primer and some Opel Ascona "British racinggreen". Added some icecreambox mudflaps and Scotch reflective stripes in the back for damp audax events! Cheap but nice riding frame designed by Grant Pedersen, and one of few roadbikes that had 28mm tires fitted as standard:
