Corrado tubing

[fossala]

Got a new bike, a Corrado. Lovely, light with a paper thin downtube. I'm curious what the tubing is, maybe someone can help as it looks quite distinctive. The chainstays looks like Columbus life to me but I don't know when Columbus started making that.

Here is an image from the seller. The fork weighs 618g and the frame is 1.646kg. Fairly good weights I think but nothing earth shattering.

I always thought Corrado frames were built using Dedacciai tubing, as I thought they were something to do with Terry Dolan at one time who built with Dedacciai as well as Columbus tubing...possibly.

Re:

Looks lovely. I had a Corrado built some years ago. That was Dedacciai 01 tubing, but during the design they were offering to mix in some Columbus tubing for a 'designer select'. I didn't ask about Reynolds...
