It's on a 1976 bike I just found. Double wings are period correct, it seems. "Columbus" was also printed as is between appr. 1974-1978. But gentlemen and ladies: what type is it?

I've not seen that decal before, but I suspect it means that the three main tubes (top, down, and seat) are butted chrome-moly (whether SL or SP gauge is anybody's guess); the rest probably high-tension steel.

OK, thanks! I've been looking left and right but couldn't find the decal either; although the 'conico' can be found in one Columbus brochure as -I guess- a specific form of tube construction (CroMor, SL etc.): https://www.columbustubi.com/pdf/tube-sets-2014.pdf
