>A search in the Used Bike Buyers Guide for SLX shows quite a few listings for 85, more for 86, but only one in 1984 and that was for Guerciotti. So, my guess is 1984-85 was the year that Columbus officially came out with SLX as a tubeset. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL ***

I have a Torpado that was specially built for Torpado's Director of Marketing in Italy, delivered to him in either Feb. or March of 1984, built with SLX. His was the only bike that the Torpado factory would equip with a Campy 50th anniversary group (Gruppo del Cinquantenario). Cool bike ... PICs someday :)
