ESPRESSO Spirit

steel Columbus Spirit

The frame ESPRESSO is fillet brazed with tube set Columbus Spirit. It has a carbon fork. Built for rim brakes, rear brake cable inside top tube, hidden seat post lock and some variations in head tube design for different headsets. Spirit frames get an extremely protective anti corrosion treatment and can be custom painted.

ESPRESSO Inox

stainless steel Columbus XCr

The frame ESPRESSO Inox is fillet brazed with Columbus XCr tube set. Comes with a carbon fork. The Inox tube set does not need anti corrosion treatment, therefore the frame can also be only partially painted or completely polished for a steel surface look.

ALIENA

carbon

The frame ALIENA frame is built in tube to tube technique. That allows custom frame length (for best stem length), head tube length (to avoid too many spacers) for any given frame size. Carbon look, partially painted or completely custom paint is no problem.
