Could the list jog my weakening memory? Aelle is the straight-gauge Columbus, isn't it? But not seamed? Or is it the low-line seamed Columbus?
Were Tre-tubi frames made with Aelle stays? Fork tubing?
I'm vaguely recalling that this Colnago Saronni is the Ofmega-equipped bike
with Ernie's siganture all over the place, isn't it?

I don't really know if Aelle is seamed or not, but you are correct in that it
is straight gauged. TreTubi frames usually connote that the 3 main tubes are
made with higher grade tubing with the stays and forks of lesser tubing. In
the case of Columbus decaled "Tretubi" frames, I have seen various combinations
of "other" tubing used along with SL main triangle. Some that come to mind are
Aelle, Aelle-R (butted tubing), Falck tubing, SP tubing and I am sure there
are still others that I am not aware of.
