Columbus hierarchy
Douglas R. Brooks
Would someone be so kind as to run down the grades
of Columbus tubing from the least among them to Genius (or better?).
Thanks and an email to me too would be most
appreciated...Please include any tubings no longer made
too.

Not too sure of all the tubesets, although I have a rough idea, hopefully
and expert will tell us. Does anybody know where Tronic fits in and what
the specs are. I have never seen it listed in bumf in the UK
