Columbus SPX
"SP" stands dor Strada Pesanti (road heavy) and "X" means that there are helical reinforces inside the tubes' ends to improve the stifness of the frame. This tube set is designed for heavy and powerful riders that need a strong and performing frame
Casati
is a cycling factory in Monza, close to Milan, building frames since the 70s. Their SLX and SPX frames were very appreciated at the time; one of their trade mark is the seat stay cap, with the particular and very stylish fork shape.
Condition:
Good structural condition, there are no dents and the frame is straight. There were a few spots with some dense rust: we removed it and saw that there are no holes. The SPX tubes are quite thick so they are still very reliable
