I was surprised to see the reynolds decals on the Molteni bikes from DeRosa that Merckx rode in the '74-77 period.  I checked my DeRosa, about '75 or '76 model year, and was surprised to see it looked like Reynolds tubing in the fork crown tube - no helical rib's you would see with Colombus fork crowns.
