Yes, have known several. Uniformly top quality. Do they still exist, do they make carbon? More likely you should take this over to C&V.

Casati Inox 99. Brazed Columbus XCR tubes. Bought the frame for $1800 usd from a bike shop in Singapore that was using it as a display model. Paint used is some sort of metallic that shifts hues depending on sun angles hitting it. Shipping to the US for $150 arrived in a few days via DHL. My best bike score deal in a decade.
I have yet to see another Casati with XCR on the road!

so that's what that paint is. When I purchased the bike thru the internet, I didn't know the paint could change color just by looking at the pics. But then when I received the bike, I realized this paint was not your average paint. It was a big pleasant surprise

They call it "Cangiante" or 'Effetto Camaleonte", The BLUE-RED-PURPLE is stunning.

With my color, you can't tell the color change from afar 20 meters away, but standing a few meters from the bike you can tell, but my color is definitely more "low key" side of the spectrum
