Started as new top model in 2000, Marin Stelvio went through Columbus Altec 2 tubeset in 2000/2001 and Dedaccai V107R tubeset in 2002. 2003 is the last year of Stelvio and is the only year with steel tubeset, and Columbus UltraFOCO is among the best steel tubeset the company has offered.

 

In 2003, Marin founder Bob Buckley stepped back as acting president after a three-year hiatus with the desire to refocus the brand’s product offerings. Several steel road models, like Stelvio, Treviso and San Marino were dropped after 2003. Some of the models came back later with Aluminum frames.

 

2003 Marin Stelvio, made by Billato Linea Telai, who've done large volume high-end handbuilt frames under contract for a number of companies, including Guerciotti and early Lemond. They did all the road frames for Marin in the late '90s/early '00s.
