I picked this beauty up on eBay not too long ago. She's currently with Peter from Start Enamellers who funnily enough was the guy who originally painted Paino frames in the 80's!
From what I've researched: In the 80's Frank Paino had a shop in Sydney (Miranda Cycles) and he built cutom road bike frames. Gary Sutton (who is currently the NSW Institute of Sport's head cycling coach) won a world championship on a Paino in the early 80's and that gave Frank Paino the right to use the world cup colours on his frames.
