Re: The Cycling Thread
I've had two 90s steel frames that have made for surprisingly light builds.. one was a 531c Ribble frame, could have been lighter too if I had added a carbon fork, but 1" steerer meant that would be quite expensive. The other is an Olmo made with Columbus SLX that I still have built up fixed, so even lighter too due to less components.

Re: The Cycling Thread
I'm still finding my OS753 Ribble frame light. Not as light as a full carbon, but still very good for a 90's steel frame.

This one is Colombus Foco tubing, which I'd never heard of before, similar to 853 from what ive read. Test ride today I hope.

Re: The Cycling Thread
Foco was superseded by Spirit and from what little info is available had similar dimensions and characteristics.

Re: The Cycling Thread
I'll have a wee gander thanks for the heads up.
Be nice if the sold spokes too, went to head out today for a cycle and noticed the back wheel on the Triban was slightly out, upon checking I found that a spoke has given up the ghost, so the wheel has been striped and cleaned ready for me having a go at fitting a new one and truing the wheel.

Re: The Cycling Thread
Wheel truing and building is witchcraft!

Re: The Cycling Thread
So now is the time I go back and drink coffee and give the wheel to Big Al in Wheelcraft
