I was speaking with the boss about tubesets the other day and he pointed to a box on a high shelf in the workshop saying I might find something interesting in there. I did: Columbus Max seattube and down tube. I'm gonna use the seat tube, which is oval tapered, round at the top to take a 27.2 post ovalised at the BB. The DT is cool but I'm leaning towards using a 38mm round Spirit. The TT is on its way from Reynolds - 853 also Oval tapered, ovalised at the HT tapering to round 28mm at the ST. This mix should give a front end that's beefed up and stiff in the areas it needs to be without being overbuilt and looking good to boot. The rear end I'm less picky about, I'll use what's to hand - probably Columbus 14mm seatstays with a slight s bend and Deda chainstays.
