Faggin Aelle tubing
Good Evening All.I’m wondering if this tubing is strong enough for Eroica rides.I’ve contacted Faggin (Cristina)and sent her photos of project she said tubing is Aelle Columbus.And where can i purchase missing decal.
Thank You.
Thank You.

Youll be perfectly fine. I've had several bikes with Aelle tubing and I'm 200lbs. Ebay and Velocals are 2 sources to check out for decals.

I purchased one from eBay a few months back for a Torelli. Set of 3 decals for $12.

Aelle is a plain gauge tubest in a carbon-manganese alloy. Introduced in 1978, it was used on many mid-range framesets because the alloy tolerated a wider range of brazing temperatures, making it suitable for more economical, semi-automated brazing. As well as being less expensive, it is particularly well suited to taller, heavier and/or stronger riders who need something less flexible than Columbus SP. Of course, it's also heavier, with a weight penalty of ~150g, compared to Columbus SP.

My favorite of my steel bikes was a Bianchi Eco Pista built with plain-gauge Aelle. Preferred it to all my top-level steel road bikes.

Faggin made really good stuff at all levels. If it is a good frame without dents, and it fits you well, it will be a very nice riding bike...
It's relative replacement, Cromor, is awesome tubing. Very lively, yet comfortable.
