    oh by the way its pronouced     "fa-sheen"...............
635.2ASLLE = AELLE ?????CIMAMT::CHINNASWAMYbicycling in pixel space,',',',Tue Apr 26 1988 07:163
I don't know about ASLLE but columbus makes tubing called AELLE. Maybe
it's a new version/type of this tubing if your sure you have the name 
right.
635.3What's it look like?NAC::CAMPBELLTue Apr 26 1988 08:497
    
    Also, I beleive that AELLE is lower quality then SL/SP.
    
    For the money it sounds good, but alot depends on the workmanship.

635.5whats italian ??NEXUS::MONROETue Apr 26 1988 11:577
    It's AELLE rear tubing.....
       yes it is  Italian......
     And the workmenship looks good...
    I inspected the frame and the only thing that did not look good
    was some metal fragments from the tapping,but the welds look good..

635.7!!!Building a bike !!!NEXUS::MONROEThu Apr 28 1988 12:2312
    OK Reg,
    
        What should I call the bonding of metal with the use of heat..
    
     It's too late I bought the frame....
    
     Now how about advice on building a bike...I cant afford a complete
    Campy group,so (dont yell at me) I going to be mixing some Campy
    and Shamano 600 ultra..
                                                Tom m

635.9That bike shop---->NEXUS::MONROEFri Apr 29 1988 15:1116
    Stew,
       
       I got the frame at Aquila Cycles
                          415 North Union Blvd.
                          Colorado Springs,Colo.
                          719-633-9810
       Yes,the do have more frames,and they said it only takes about
       3-4 days to get them in from their distributor.
       I had a friend,that has more experience then I,look at it and
     he also said it a very nice frame.
     Yes your right its Ultegra...what about just saying Ult ??   for
    short..
