Vernon Barker Columbus EL complete bike w/ Chorus 9-spd, Khamsin...

It's a shame to get rid of this fine bike but it's just hanging around. I bought it on impulse a few years back when I first discovered Nivacrom steel and got a bit carried away.

In short it's got an excellent modern-ish set up on a banging steel frame from the early 2000s (I would guess).

Vernon Barker Columbus EL OS (so oversize tubes) frame in very good condition. There are couple of touch ups on the yellow of the top tube but overall it's excellent. 61cm centre BB-top of seat tube, 58cm c-to-c toptube.

Campag Chorus 9-spd shifters, front mech; Athena crankset, brakes, rear mech, headset. Campag Khamsin wheels.

90mm PRO stem, Cinelli Giro bars, a slightly odd Giant saddle.

The bike rides superbly. I'm looking for £380. The bike is in London Fields.

I have a similar one to this. Stand out frame for a great price.

By rights, this should be gone in no time.

Nice Bike!

For those unaware, Columbus EL OS is a very lightweight tubeset - and highly sought after.

It's quite unusual to see a frame in this size using such thin tubes. I would expect this frame to be exceptionally smooth to ride (but a bit whippy) for the taller / heavier rider.

Thanks for the nice comments, it is a fantastic bike to ride.

Final price drop then - £350.

I'm the same person as user 53017 btw. Somehow I'm confused if I log in by phone.

The bike is now sold, thanks for the interest.
