This is an original colour scheme - it's just called Bazooka Neon. There were three:
- lets say "original" orange mettalic one - Bazooka Team
- this one - Bazooka Neon
- whole black - Bazooka Nero

Do you possibly know what titles were conquered with your bike?

No, although Sintesi was and now also is known of their very colourful bike paintjobs.

First year that Bazooka ( think was 1996) appeared was only one -> the orange one with Bomber Z1 and Formula's.

Next year there were three models (the frame I think was the same):
- highest model - Bazooka Team - orange mettalic one with triple clamp Bomber Mr.T/Formula's/Sintesi crankset
- mid-level - Bazooka Neon - this one with triple clamp Bomber Jr.T/Formula's
- entry level - Bazooka Nero - whole black with Bomber z1/mechanical Formula MD1

It's up to you if you want it to repaint. I would leave it as is and give her proper built with time-period parts.
