My two sample sets of the new Columbus "Spirit' for lugs tube set arrived today.
A sensible butted tube set designed for use in lugged frames, drawn from Columbus's Niobium steel.
My first inspection has me very pleased as the tubes are very straight, accurate sizing at + -.03mm on sizes.
I am starting this week on a new frame for myself. The first new frame for myself in seven years! I am going to use my new compact angled lugs and stainless dropouts with this tube set. I am keen to see how it builds and rides!
For me this is a super treat, as I don't often find time to make myself new bike.
