The original color was "poof de flage", but was brought in to Ross for a repair in '91 and got a repaint with the midnight blue and the jelly bean treatment. I still have the original pump with the original paint. It had these roller cams on it when I got it, but ideally needs some earlier ones.
The build is fairly light to match the frame with a real lightweight wheelset for its day. The rims are rolled down Wolber Super Champions which were the first rims Keith Bontrager re-rolled. You can see half of the Super Champion sticker is missing in one of the photos from when these became a smaller hoop. The hubs are Dura Ace hubs which at that time already had a freehub. Pretty cool for 1984 and much stronger. Even the stem is lighter than the standard Salsa offering. See Ross' old notes on the bike in the last picture.
