I'm sure that the All-Rounder was available with pin striping. I had my 1996 Riv Road Standard pin striped as an option when it was purchased (this was, of course, a Waterford built frame). Here's a link to my Flickr photostream with photos of my bike: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37964304@N05/se

I did this with my early 80s Specialized Stumpjumper, and I concluded it was a bad idea on that bike. Ultimately, I went back to 26" for the greatly increased variety of suitable tires. I used the Paul Motolite brakes (not worth the $$$ IMO), but it could probably be done with other cantilever
