During the CR era I only recall seeing Columbus Tubing fork decals used on French made bikes.
Bianchi (and maybe some others) started using Columbus fork decals sometime later in the 1980s.
Were there any other makes that used them before 1983?
I have 5 French bikes made of Columbus SL tubing: 3 Motobecanes, a Gitane and an Andre Bertin plus a KOF early 90s Gitane Team bike with lugged Columbus ELOS tubes.
They all have Columbus decals in French.
