Steel Tubing Guide





The above is from an article about steel-tubed bikes in an '88? issue of Bicycling (I didn't notice the exact issue when I scanned so I'll update it later). Now, I don't know what kind of practical information can be gleaned from the charts, but I find it kinda cool just as a 'snapshot' of some of the steel tubesets that were available back in the day. And the mysterious "Tange Aero" is still missing...

Columbus Tubing Chart


For all you Columbus tubing freaks out there, I ran across this advertisement for Columbus tubing in the July '88 issue of Bicycling. In addition to the venerable TSX, SLX, SPX, SL, and SP tubesets, it also has some lesser-known tubing. Sweet!
