Beautiful bike. I was looking at the decals closely out of curiosity to see
how my 73 Colnago Super compared. They are alike other than an odd twist.
The two championship labels on the track bike are from top to bottom: green,
yellow, black, red, blue. My labels are from top to bottom: blue, red,
black, yellow, green. Typically the championship colors are shown in the
latter order as far as I know.
