I see there are four in the '85 catalog, the 290S, 292S, 294S, and the Triad 508.
There may have been other models or variants added in other years.
I remember when these were current models, but the local dealer didn't stock them, they were sort of a custom order deal. I'm not sure if they just didn't sell up against bigger brand name bikes or if the dealer didn't fully commit to the this line of bikes. They sold a ton of Super Gran Tour and Gran Tour II models, plus all the lesser models. Every one I remember seeing there was already sold awaiting pickup. They didn't stock the racks with them like they did with the other brands. By the time these came about, mountain bikes were starting to get the most attention in most shops here.
