Columbus spirit steel tubing

Does anyone have any information on what to expect from a Cinelli Frame built with Columbus Spirit Steel Tubing with Columbus Carve Stays? I have been away from steel for awhile. Teach me!

Not sure what is sought...

Its light, its strong, it is employed by some of the most respected builders in the business.

PegoRitchie is spirit.

There is Spirit for Lugs (PegoRichie) and there is Spirit. I had a frame with Spirit tubing (the non-PegoRichie), very light, funky tube shapes, but I did not like the rear that much, found it a little too flexy (probably not of importance since you have a carbon rear). One of my future project will probably have a Spirit front triangle and TT OX platinum rear.
