Columbus Tubi: Frame steel and components from Milan

Columbus Tubi manufactures steel tubes, carbon forks, and headsets for bicycle frames based in Settala outside Milan.

The company was founded in 1919 by A.L. Colombo and has been led by his son Antonio Colombo since 1977. Columbus tubing sets have over the years been used by several Italian makers, including Bianchi, Cinelli, Colnago, and De Rosa. Their range, from classic SLX tubes to modern stainless XCr, is developed to provide a specific balance between weight and stiffness.

We at Urban Bike Wear provide a selection of Columbus frame steel, front forks, and headsets. We supply both local and international frame builders seeking materials for their projects.
