One thing that always puzzled me about my old Benotto... was the Reynolds 531 tubing stickers on the seat tube and fork blades. Does anyone else have an Italian bike built with Reynolds tubing? Or have known of any? Or did the previous owner (a distributor) put the decals on after the Columbus decals dried up and flaked off?

Herb and all, I don't know about others but I just got a 1970-1-2 Legnano with all Reynolds 5-3-1 stickers and a full Campagnolo NR groupset. It is White with blue panels and box striping.
I was suprised,
