Richie,

Early Medicis had Haden Europa crowns, then then went to the Cinelli IC semi sloaping type. Later they actually started using premade forks, fully chromed already.

Biconical Columbus seat stays were not used on Medicis, but there were some there at Medici. Reynolds at the time still haden't made DT stays, so when one delved into Columbus one had that option, which I've always like since I got my first Colnago Super in 1972 (a 1971 model, new).
