The Columbus Spirit TIG tubing set is designed for modern high-performance steel framebuilding, where low weight, precise welding and responsive ride quality are essential. Made in Italy from Columbus’ proprietary high-performance OMNICROM Cromoly steel alloy, Spirit uses triple-butted, cold-drawn seamless tubes with wall thicknesses reduced down to 0.38 mm, allowing framebuilders to create some of the most advanced and lightweight modern steel frames in the Columbus range.

At Cicli Corsa, we have worked closely with Columbus tubing for many years, supplying framebuilders, custom workshops and made-to-measure bicycle projects worldwide. This pre-configured Spirit TIG 7 tubes set follows the standard tubing selection recommended by Columbus for this family, making it a practical starting point for modern custom steel framebuilding.

Compared to more traditional lugged-oriented tubing families, Spirit TIG was designed around modern oversized standards and contemporary riding demands. The shaping and diameters allow framebuilders to achieve excellent torsional rigidity and responsive handling, while preserving the distinctive ride quality of high-end steel bicycles.

The Spirit TIG series pairs particularly well with modern Columbus carbon forks, oversized or tapered head tubes, and integrated cockpit solutions. This set does not include a head tube, allowing each builder to select the most appropriate front-end configuration for the project. Head tubes, Columbus carbon forks, high-quality bottom bracket shells, braze-on bosses and CNC-machined dropouts are available separately through our catalog for complete custom framebuilding projects.

We normally try to keep pre-configured Spirit TIG tubing kits available in stock for fast delivery. Special orders and custom tube selections may require additional lead times depending on Columbus production availability.

Whether you are building a modern race bike, a custom all-road project or a made-to-measure steel frameset, the Spirit TIG series remains one of the most versatile and technically refined solutions within the contemporary Columbus range.

The Spirit TIG series is particularly suited for:

1. TIG welded steel frames

2. Modern road racing bicycles

3. Performance-oriented handmade frames

4. Disc brake custom bicycles

5. Made-to-measure steel frames

6. Custom geometry road bikes
