Columbus XLX?
I've been offered an old track frame with Columbus XLX tubing but I have never heard of this type of tubing before and it isn't in that chart that creeps up on this forum, does anyone have any experience with this type of Columbus tubing? Thanks.

There was SLX and TSX but I don't remember XLX. SLX had the rifling inside at the butted ends; TSX had the rifling the full length of the tube. (The "T" was for Total.)
There was also SPX which was the heavier track or "Pista" tubeset.
