Just started rebuilding my Colossi frame. I've found this frame in a cycleshop in the Netherlands and didn't knew anything about the brand or the builder, Jan Kole. I'v found out that the builder moved to china and started a frame building factory over there. I'm collecting nice dutch build bikes and got interested in the story of this builder.
When I contacted him about the frame he made the suggestion that he would restore it for me. So when he was back in the Netherlands for a family visit I brought it to him and he took it with him to China for the restoration. And now it came back last week and I could start rebuilding it for the Eroica in September. I'm going to use as many NOS parts for it including: NOS Shimano Arabesque group set, NOS Lepper titanium saddle, Benotto tape etc. I'l ry to post some pictures of the steps and the final result.
