Unknown Road Frameset - White n' Purple - 53cm CTC square Columbus Aelle Steel - French threaded Stronglight A9 Alloy headset + Shimano BB - £20

I am selling this unbranded French frameset. Picked it up as a complete bike and harvested the parts I needed.

The original owner had it as his Sunday Best for 20 years ago then hung it up. I acquired it with the pink Mercier I recently sold (same owner).

From what I know - late 1970's, Columbus Aelle steel frame. Likely to have been handmade in France then sold by a LBS as a 'custom'.

• 53cm square (centre to centre) - no frame numbers spotted & rear Gipiemme dropouts. Internal top tube rear brake routing. Chrome chainstay.
  
• French threaded bottom bracket (35x1) - comes with a usable Shimano one (so french cups and loose bearings. Was fitted with a double chainset.
  
• Unbranded french threaded chrome forks - comes with a usable Stronglight A9 Alloy headset (which I removed for cleaning as I origininally thought it was BSA)
  
• Takes a 26.4mm seatpost - which is currently for sale on eBay
  
  

There is some surface rust to address so it would benefit from being acid dipped and repainted / powder coated.
The blue paint marks are anti rust liberally applied by the original owner.

A nice project for someone keen to have a small-ish frame.

I am after £20 only, which is less than what the headset and bottom bracket are worth.

Pick up from Stoke Newington.

Cheers

Vince

BINce price....

I think the price is fair for what you get - it'll be nice to see it restored.

For information, the original owner also had this Mercier:

If I can't get £20, I will sell the headset and bottom bracket separately on eBay and freecycle the frame on here.

Someone take this please

And for those asking where the Campagnolo Record seapost has gone, it is on eBay, ending this Sunday:

The Campagnolo seatpost has now been sold on eBay.

The frameset is still available and can also be picked up from the City - Gresham Street.

Thank you!

@user82047 - this is still available, £20 only

Great @Vince, really interested.

Unfortunately I am not in London, would you consider posting it and I'll more than cover postage?

Thanks.

@user82047 I can post, however I am not sure it would be worth it as it is will be about £15.

£20 + £15 + 5% PayPal fees = £36.75

This is now sold to @FlashGordon - thank you for the interest!
