Yellow riders in 2011 were Gilbert, Hushovd, Voeckler, Andy Schlek and Evans. Not familiar with their signatures, but does not look particularly like any of them.
My understanding is the distributors can continue to order direct from the factories(as they always have), but only until the albeit cosiderable existing stocks are used up.
Long shot, but if you can find a local company, or better still know someone who works in one, that exports or imports see if they will allow you to pay to use their preferred shipper. Price differential between company rates and private individuals are usually considerable.
Nothing particularly exciting BUT...
My wife rides a similar fame size to myself and some bikes seemed to have shared ownership at times. Tried to exclude ones that were specifically hers, but can't remember for sure.
1987 Raleigh Maverick
1988 Saracen Blizzard
1989 Saracen Tufftrax
1991...
This is a bit of an odd one.
Probably early 90's a UK magazine featured an Ibis with a brazed on rear brake cable hanger in the shape of a clenched fist. At least my fading memory thinks they did.
Thought that was a 'cool bike' at the time and recently recalled it.
Would anyone know, or even...

Hi Mark
Hope a,l went well. Was this a one off, or do you organise others?
I did not realise until too late, but would be really interested if there will be another.
