BTW: the Arrival had same paint job as the Alternative color for the Axis in 1992Just seen this 1992 Axis that sold on ebay seem to be the closest so far...it does look grey but could just be the photo..this colour is hard to capture correctly.

Also this catalogue image states of the bike avalible in grey with blue pearl...So this must be it i guess?

yes i had a smoked out Apex..beautiful paint job!Good shout. It's a lacquer on top - I've an earlier Apex I think it is - the white one with acetylene smoke effect and straight forks - over the top of that is a very faint pinky-purple shimmering lacquer which in bright sun is pretty cool. With on-line pictures you'd never know it had this subtle effect
