Hi, Chuck, and all member,

I switch back #3 and #4, because I see many Gold/Yellow all capital letter labels in the same design as "Red" in 70's Fiamme.

And, F-running (I called "tilted" F) Red label was seen in some bike shop as NOS in recent years but never seen on 70's bike.

#2, Oval Red with Knight helmet/sheild came many different colors, Yellow, Green, Dark Blue etc., what are the meaning/differnces for those?
