Norm's question (which I cannot answer) prompted me to look at the CR's Columbus decal page <http://www.classicrendezvous.com/Italy/Columbus_main.htm>. I was surprised to see that the decal for MultiShape tubing, an early 90s evolutionary dead-end, differs significantly from the decal on my Tommasini Diamante that was built of the stuff. I tried to photograph my decal but composing a macrophotograph of a curved surface in a dark basement was well beyond my abilities.

My decal has the words "ACCIAIO CrMo CYCLEX" across its middle, and "DOPPIO SPESSORORE" ("vibration suppressing"?) across the bottom. The other elements are scrambled a bit compared to the decal on the CR page, and the colors are a little different, too.

Pedantic, I know, but I just found it totally weird that such a short-lived product would have at least two versions for its label.
