Strengths: see aboveWeaknesses: Like many frames with aluminum tubes, the bottom bracket creaks a bit when I get out of the saddle and stand on the cranks.Bottom Line: Columbus Airplane with Columbus Muscle carbon fiber seat/chain stays and fork. Spectacular welds. Every Ounce of power from the cranks goes directly to the wheels and the road.
The price: quite a deal from a long-time seller on EBay in Michigan.
The angles on the frame exude classic Italian craftsmanship...long top tube and slightly relaxed seat tube. A climber's dream.
It's possible the company had gone out of business. If you can get your hands on one at a reasonable price, I suggest you don't think twice.

$2100.00
