Jeff,

You might want to try searching the CR archives for this info, as I seem to recall that this topic has been discussed at least a few times in the past. The archives are accessable from the CR home page, where there is a link to the CR list, then on the next page there is an additional link to the CR archives. Play around with your search string and I'm sure you'll pull up quite a bit of info. Good luck!!

I have read that Cinelli switched early on to Columbus from Reynolds, but the bikes I've seen were described as models from the 1960's. Does anyone know how long Reynolds tubing was used on Cinelli frames? Were both tubing types ever used for a period of time concurrently? On a related topic, does anyone know if different tubing was used on the Model B from the S.C.?

Thanks,
