1988 Bernardi:

In the late 1980's, the aero craze was in full swing.  The 1984 Olympic "funny bikes" started the trend and it seemed like every manufacturer had to have one in their line up.  The wind was also helping to shape the components.  Shimano also decide the market was ready for parts the looked as good as they worked.  The Sante parts had many small details to make them look nicer to the eye.  The parts were painted a rich looking pearl white and silver and included small details such as a headset cover and blind pedals holes.  The Biopace chain rings even featured a subtle pattern.
