Yes, you are on the right trail, be sure to include Columbus with that one, family ties you know. Notice that even in later years with the advent of the 3V, it still did not use Columbus, it used French tubing, if I am not mistaken. These decisions may have been born of political, or emotional motivation, but Reynolds tubing is very good stuff, and Masi's bore a certain distinction by not conforming to status quo. DT
