Um, yes and no. All the N. American market Montello that I've seen were SLX/SPX but there were SL/SP versions offered in at least some European markets. See the attached German advertisement. I don't know if it's a case of USA distributor Gita not importing all the models or a special request on the part of the German distributor. Regardless, they did exist. Variances between markets are one of the things what make C&V bicycles so interesting, or frustrating, depending on your point of view.
