"Tretubi" means that the three main tubes are usually Columbus SL, and the rest of the bike is not associated with any of the other Columbus tubesets and are a good quality, high-carbon steel. I have no recollection of what the "renforzati" means....possibly that it's butted tubing? I sold lot's of Torelli bikes back in the 90's and I rode a gold Countach made with Brain tubing....very nice bikes, you should be happy with it!
