FS: Complete Columbus Record tubeset including lugs, etc.

Very rare tube set that was made by Columbus for Eddy Merckx's hour record attempt in 1972 and Saronni's World Championship-winning Colnago in 1982.

This is a 11-piece NOS tubeset set (Record 'B') complete with original Columbus decals, Cinelli lugs, BB shell, and Columbus box. All tubes are 0.5mm thick except for the steerer tube and head tube.

Also included are fork crown, Campagnolo fork tips and road dropouts.

Not sure of the value, but an Columbus MS 8-piece set is 500gbp (no lugs, crown, tips, BB) and an 11-piece Air Price is 525gbp (lugs but no BB, fork crown or tips) so I've priced it at 550gbp negotiable + freight from Australia

Have you got the size of the frame ? And the spec link doesn't seem to work.

Just to be clear, it's not a frame but tubeset for a frame to be built.

I'll get a new link for the Columbus specs

Length of main tubes are as follows, plenty to make a <59 c-c frame:
HT length is 180mm
ST length is 620mm
DT length is 620mm
TT length is 600mm

Nice...and lovely Tommasini!!! Is that for sale as well??

Mmmm, tempting. Nice to see some correctly specified thin-wall lugs too.

Sorry, that's already been sold. And it hurt to sell!

The two Pinarello Radiuses by Pegoretti are for sale, one is listed here (57x58) and the other I haven't put up yet (56.5x57)

My heart says yes, my head says 'school fees'!

You can always find more money for school fees, but it may be hard to find another tube set :)

My point, precisely!!!!

I can imagine the pain :(

Enrol in the school of hard knocks lol

I need a C-Record group with deltas for a restoration I'm doing, otherwise I'd be keeping the tubeset

It is a long time since I last had a C-Record groupset with Deltas. However, I happen to have a C-Record front mech which remains, I don't know why I kept it/did not sell it, and also the bendy connector thing from rear mech which I'd be happy to see go to a good home. PM if interested

Stunning Tommasini...

Pitty I only start with frame building classes next year.

You should buy now; I'd hate to try and find the tubeset when you're looking for it
