Thanks for all the good [offlist] comments so far. I've made some additions and changes to the page incorporating contributions from emails. If anyone has a good photo of original Columbus decals on their bike and don't mind emailing it to me I'd like to get a representative actual-decal photo for each of the samples to better represent the colors.
A couple of questions came up and maybe somebody out there knows. Does the color of the dove have any significance regarding the tubing type? Were there any names to the tubesets? Were there foil and non-foil versions of the same designs?
Phew. Used up my 3 posts for the day!
