OLMO Superlight Columbus Genius 54x54 - $475 (downtown)






make / manufacturer: OLMOUp for Auction is an OLMO Superlight made from Columbus Genius Tubing. Measures 54 x 54 c-t seat tube and c-c top tube. In very nice shape. A few nicks and paint scars, but no rust or dents/dings. Includes a nice Campy headset...

At the time (and probably still today) Genius was one of the finest tube-sets ever manufactured by Columbus.

A Genius spec sheet:

Excellent lightness; maximum resistance to stresses
Optimal rigidity
Reasons to use Genius

Athlete: Genius is the ideal choice for competition frames. Thanks to the 'Differential Shape Butted' concept the tubing weight has been safely reduced according to the distribution of stresses within the frame.
Framebuilder: Thanks to Nivacrom steel, Genius tubes offer long lasting mechanical properties. Positioning notches are marked for the proper assembling of the frame. Genius is conceived for TIG welding but different tubes are available for lug and fillet brazing too.
