>From 1995 EM catalog.....

The letters between the " " I believe are abbreviations for the teams or paint schemes(???). These are the models and tubesets (all Columbus) with teams/paint schemes:

MX Leader, Columbus Nivacrom, "TM" (Team Motorola) and "VL" (yellow); Corsa Extra, SLX, "FNG" (green) and "VLW" (white); Corsa Extra, TSX, "VLB" (dark blue, only model with chromed seat stays); Corsa, Thron, "RF" (red); Arcobaleno, Neuron, "FNB" (light blue); Strada, Gara-Cromor, "BDO" (dark blue); Strada, Gara-Cromor, "FNZ" (blue/black, hard to describe); Strada, Gara-Cromor, "W" (white)

All models above had chrome drive side chainstays; the Corsa Extra TSX also had the opposite chainstay chromed.

No geometry charts
