I am selling this complete bike which might be of interest for you.
Columbus Thron frame, 58cm seat tube ctc, 57cm top tube ctc.
Sachs New Success / Rival 7000 groupset (2x7 speeds).
Wheels are 36h Maillard hubs on Mavic Open 4CD clincher rims.
Purchased brand new from Cycles Decroix (17 rue Charles de Gaulle, 80800 Corbie, France . Tel : +33 0322483693) in the mid 90's by the original owner who has sadly passed away.
I have paid 100€ for the full bike last December - mainly bought it for the saddle, which I have already sold. I picked it up on my drive home and brought it back to London at the end of January (I live in Stoke Newington).
The bike is lugged Columbus Thron, the lugs are quite nice so I would not be surprised if the frameset was actually italian-made and only had the Decroix stickers applied. It has a small dent on the underside of the top tube, which happened when they unhooked the bike from the garage ceiling to take photos to sell it.
Anyway - it needs a good clean, degrease, polish, regrease. At least new tyres and bar tape. Chain if you are picky.
Sachs New Success / Rival 7000 was top of the Sachs-Huret range in the early to mid 90's before SRAM bought the brand (and all associated patents) and killed it.
I would like a crispy 100€ note. But I would take the pound equivalent too, that's £95 thanks to Brexit.
I am changing the tyres of the Look bike behind from yellow to black so I can also give you decent tyres to fit.
I also have some new marble bar tape that you can have and a 7 speed chain thats done minimal mileage so it would be a great runner with a little work.
