1985 Schwinn Madison 53cm, Columbus Tenax tubing

3ttt stem and Nitto NJS B123 handlebars

Schwinn Madison fork and Dura Ace track headset

Suntour Sprint track hub laced to Weinmann rim

Suntour Sprint fixed/free track hub laced to Weinmann rim

Shimano cartridge BB and Sugino Aero Mighty track cranks

Selle San Marco Regal saddle mouted to a Campagnolo aero seatpost

Suntour Sprint track pedals, el cheapo silver "Z" chain

Sugino Aero Mighty 48t chainring, Suntour 17t cog, both 1/8".

Rumor has it that Columbus made a batch of tuning that didn't live up to their specifications. They sold it at a super discount to Schwinn of Chicago and this became Columbus "Tenax". Still a really cool bike.

I wouldn't be surprised. My wife has a mini version of that bike and it doesn't seem like the most amazing steel. It still rides nice and it's a great bike, so no complaints.

Tenax Tubing

Submitted by razorapplepie on 05/27/2009.

I looked a bit more into it. Tenax was what later became Cromor. Basically it has the strength of SL tubing, just a few ounces heavier. Sort of an economy SL tubeset. I'm OK with that.
