Like many frames with aluminum tubes, the bottom bracket creaks a bit when I get out of the saddle and stand on the cranks.

Columbus Airplane with Columbus Muscle carbon fiber seat/chain stays and fork. Spectacular welds. Every Ounce of power from the cranks goes directly to the wheels and the road. The price: quite a deal from a long-time seller on EBay in Michigan. The angles on the frame exude classic Italian craftsmanship...long top tube and slightly relaxed seat tube. A climber's dream. It's possible the company had gone out of business. If you can get your hands on one at a reasonable price, I suggest you don't think twice.
