COLUMBUS MAX ROAD FRAME
This one is my old 'Sunday Best' road frame; a lovely Columbus Max frame built by Charles De Mayo.
It's a beautiful frame, which I had sprayed at Armourtex in a lusty metallic bronze, and features lovely fillet brazing throughout bar the BB shell. It served me well for a while, but I switched it for a frame with slightly more traditional geometry; this has a bit of a slope to the top tube. The fork however is aluminium, sprayed at the same time as the frame.
Bit of a scratch on the top tube, caused by a careless housemate. Bastard. Included a pic of one of the builds I had on it to show the geo, I'm sorry about the red tyres, it was a mistake. Stickered up with decals from my old shop, Fitzrovia Bicycles, these will come off easily if desired. Includes a VP 1” aheadset and a Campagnolo 111mm Veloce BB.
Seat tube: 62.5cm c-t, 57cm c-c
Top tube: 57cm actual, 58cm effective
Head tube: 20cm, 1" steerer
Rear spacing: 130mm
Seat post: 27.2mm
Weight: 3.2kg (approx, inc. headset and BB)

VOODOO WANGA MTB COMPLETE
This is another one that pains me to sell, as it’s the first time in over 20 years that I won’t own a mountain bike.
It’s a bit of mix of components, some new some old, but it’s a cracking bike. The frame is steel (a Voodoo in-house Black Magic cromoly steel blend), and is 19”. The oldest parts are the Rock Shox Psylo SL forks (could probably do with a service) and the Hope M4 brakes (4 pot brakes with braided hoses and floating rotors, which I’ve bled very recently, and are still just as powerful as they ever were!). But when I built it, most of the other parts were new, including:
• Halo Excite-d Carbon Matrix 26” wheels
• Shimano SLX chainset, mechs and shifters running a 2x10 setup
• An FSA aheadset
• Salsa riser bars with Redline lock-on grips and a Deda stem
The frame itself is pretty cool, and features sliding rear dropouts, so could easily be setup as a single speed, or with a hub gear system. Sizes from Voodoo’s frame spec:
Seat tube: 19” c-t, 16.5” c-c
Top tube: 23.5” effective
Headtube: 140mm
Seat post: 27.2
SOLD
The frames are at my place in Elstree in Hertfordshire, but I can bring any of them into central London no problem. The Voodoo is currently hanging out at East Central Cycles on Exmouth Market, so feel free to pop in there if you’d like a closer look. The guys there will be able to assist!
