Proper photo of the harry hall this morn. Columbus max is definitely my favourite tubeset

100% phwooar

Both the Harry and your murdered out CX are fucking rad. Well done.

Sunny weather and free time today so I chased the sun while contemplating over selling this beast or not.

(Pro tip: if you're thinking about letting a frame go, going for a fast ride in the sun doesn't help in making up your mind.)

Unless you need the dollar, I wouldn't. Hang it up somewhere. They're a rare beast those frames.

@voxelwise

That looks awesome. Don't sell.

Trying out yellow Fizik tape on my Gitane. Needs dirtying up a little

I know man this is the only one I've ever seen for sale. Like ever though. They were made in limited numbers back in 2000 as far as I know and has gotten 5/5 star reviews on the roadbikereview website. It's s killer frameset. It's not a financial issue, it's just that I've got 2 other roadbikes (a Klein and a Seven) and I really don't need a third one. Somehow, as many on here, I've accumulated far too many bikes and it's getting out of hand.

I mainly don't want you to sell it because I want it but I've got 3 road bikes on the go and also don't need another one.

Thanks man. Yellow and blue and s a classic combo, it works just fine.

The shop I work in has a NOS one hanging :)! What I just don't get is that the Integralters' bar angle doesn't work with the frameset while it appears to have been made for each other..

I havent seen him skid in months. let alone break anythin

He broke a tubular last Saturday

WTF I am I saying

So you know exactly what I'm talking about

They came with the frame as far as I know and they work together imo, especially with the alter wishbone stays.

Mexico Pista with non-original forks, isn't it? I also have one and wish it was the same colour as yours...

@Lychee those toothpaste-coloured lavilles are so nice, great build so far!

Hey, that's my name!*

Dibs!

*almost

Did you have to buy this just to be sure? :)

Found this cheap frame. Probably pretty generic tubing and pressfit bb but should make a fun throwaround gnarbike. Already 3 bottle mounts, 44mm headtube and 650b capable so a pretty good base.

Anyone got experience with the type of hammered paint you sort of brush on? Looking for alternative ways to rustproof/paint it.

Super Pista, but yeh non original forks. Think they may even be road ones, but haven't seen anything better with enough steerer.

It's a nice colour, but it's a lot fattier than the pics show, quite hard to keep the rust from taking hold.

Like the sound of this already, build thread yeah? Also any plans for paint?

i wanted one so much i had google web alerts set up for them.. it still sends the mails but i cannot justify one anymore..

there's one going on ebay at the mo...

might be on the small side

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cinelli-48cm-Road-Bike-/252614486394?hash=item3ad0ff297a:g:GnUAAOSw44BYF8Mf

it's been on there for ages, might be room for a lowball offer

thanks but it is indeed small and does not have the cnc rear end (nor the integralters)

would be satisfied with a black integralter for my pesenti to tick the crazy cinelli design in my life :)

got this Laurie Dawe home to strip down and clean, from what I can tell it's Columbus SL tubing built in the early 80's...the build parts seem to be period correct:
Mavic OR10 rims laced to Malliard track hubs
SR Laprade fluted seatpost
Sakae CR cranks and BB- came fitted with a 42t but also came with the original 52t ring
Viscount aero leather saddle
headset is a mystery nondescript item

paint is really ratty and will stay that way, seems to have been fitted with a rear clamp on brake at some stage (tape marks on rear stays and rim ano worn through on rear)
