Any info on this tubeset?

Is it good? How old? Cheers.

Superbutted suggests SLX or SPX. Most of the rest of the label just says that its Cyclex (Columbus' brand name for their steel tubing in the 70s & 80s) CrMo steel with helicoil reenforcement so spiral groves/ridges inside the tubes at the joints.
However, 'RIVERNICIATO' means repainted so it's anybody's guess exactly what tubing it is - it might not even be Columbus.
If you can see or feel ridges inside the tubes at the bb then you can be pretty certain that it is SLX or SPX which means it's good stuff - as are all types of Columbus tubing. Don't go by spirals at the bottom of the fork steerer tube as pretty much all Columbus tube sets had that.

Well it has been repainted but it’s definitely Columbus. What I’ve found is that particular model is Columbus Sl. I decided after I created the thread that it’s probably the wrong decal
