I don't think antonye's right about the "E". i think by the time the "E" came out, they werre all grey frames and grey (3-spoke) wheels.
At any rate, "S" models were certainly available in biposto or monoposto form. But "S" bikes have Marchesinis and adjustable steering heads, which "E" bikes don't.
