It surely is something, just not porn.

Colombus SL, aero shaped

Pettenella's method!
Few of these frames where actually "aero" shaped after being built.

Pettenella's method!

I didn't know any one man was credited with the process.

Also the world trackstand champ, amongst other things!

I had a Simoncini that had been worked in this way: if I'd know then what I know now, I would have held onto it...

He created specific presses for either Columbus and Reynolds tube sets, claiming that this treatment will increase stiffness and reduce drag.
He was the first and the only one to offer these services, and often teams would send him their bikes to have them "pressed" and repainted after the process.
De Rosa and Rossin were two of the many companies that used his services!

The first video is interesting on this topic: despite his patent others copied him, but only Colnago paid him.

I'd like to know more about his wheels too: seems he was ahead of the aero-curve.

I've never heard of this guy!


o!
Seems to be a hero.
