  • I have this to build up, all these neo retro builds have inspired me to attempt something similar.

    For now I think I'll use parts I already have while I ponder over which groupset to start gathering together... any suggestions?

  • any suggestions?

    Go for the one whose hood shape agree with you the best.

  • Awesome frame! Post it in the Columbus MAX thread once built up.

  • That's a beauty , Columbus max ? Looks lovely
    Campagnolo 9 speed is great too
    Hope to see the full build

  • That frame is lovely.

  • That is one nice frame, can imagine it being something you'll fall in love with once a modern group is fitted. I'm a Shimano fangirl these days so would suggest accordingly but do you have any inclinations?

    @edscoble got a good point, I'd add go for a group you warm to the most, not necessarily the best as it'll certainly be a bike to savour riding.

  • Didn't know you got this when it was up for sale. Great looking frame.

  • My vote would be Campagnolo 2015 -> Chorus or Record 11 speed (mechanical) Chorus being good value.

  • Now that Shimano cranks are less fugly than a few years ago, I don't think there's much to choose between the main group options on aesthetics, so it really is down to what feels good and works for you. That being said, and maybe I'm biased, but if you can pick up 10-speed SRAM Force for a good price, I think it looks ace on a classic frame. (Swap out the front mech for a newer model one with Yaw.)

  • WOW! MAX goodness!!
