I think Columbus genius was a little later than sl and slx.it was a pro level tubing with may a manufacture using it.i always wanted a genius DE ROSA but they where very expensive and uncommon.ORIA was only a small producer , based in Verona Italy.there is very little info on them.but they did make some good stuff.the moser built oria kk was a very nice bike

yup, you're right, it was later. i had a flick through this book at the procyclehire shop in puerto pollensa and there is a section all about the history of the columbus and gilco companies and the products that they made. fascinating stuff and a great book to keep forever!
