Looks like a mid-nineties Tig welded Columbus Genius frameset. These frames are probably as good a steel frame as you could get, before everything moved towards aluminium and then carbon. :cool::cool::cool:

Re: Built these H+ Son Archetype with Campag hubs and used them on several 90's builds

Re: Congratulations on a really nice build. I'm a big fan of Italian steel frames with "modern" groupsets, though in your case 10 speed Record could have been specced for the year the frame was produced. The re-finishing on the Ergolevers is superbe and something that I've wanted to do for...
