The tubing itself is formed into a 5 point star-shape on the top,down, and seat tubes (whereas most formed tubes, ie Colnago, are four point.)<br /><br />This brings the wheel even closer to the seat-tube (3-4mm clearance.) I have searched and searched and can find nothing about this tubeset. Was it made by Columbus? Any ideas?

(been doing lots of km on it, being it my first frame). Main reason: never experienced any fysical pains on it in comparison to my current alu frame. Should be due to the size, I guess. But, once started, I am very excited, and looking up as much info on steel frames as i can, also coming across this one. So, a question: my forks seem not to be completely straight, can I just bent it to be straight? Or will I strain the lugs too much? Thanks for any info. <br /><br />Hans, Montfort, The NetherlandsHans Porshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10321222584433114218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172202953319134786.post-73336424842303598952009-10-13T00:41:50.022-07:002009-10-13T00:41:50.022-07:00Thanks for a great article.
