The website is only saying the Pro model was Columbus.

The full details at one point are in this ad:

http://www.classicrendezvous.com/Mexico/Windsor_Merckx.htm

The midpoint model ($300) was not made to the same standard as the Pro, despite the claims in that ad. Not that the Pro was great. That model was the bargain hunters favorite, a spec comparison queen but I never thought much of it. Bad wheels can ruin a bike and four cross, cruddy spokes, and cruddy rims did not a bargain make.
