Default For Sale Counter point Presto

I saw a piece of history in Scottsdale AZ. A counterpoint presto, the
single seat bike from the early 90's. It is in very good shape. On sale
at Pinnacle Peak cyclery off Pima Road.

Did the Presto have the aircraft type front wheel fairing? [1]

After Counterpoint went out of business over a lawsuit, the Presto and
Triad designs were built for a while in England by Pashley as the PDQ
[2] and PDQ3 [3],respectively, while the Counterpoint Opus IV lives on
as the Bilenky Viewpoint [4].

Nope, It does have a small fairing in front of the pedals.
