Sancineto Columbus Frame + Forks 🌶️

Regretfully selling my Sancineto road frameset. It's one of my favourite bikes, but it's just a couple of cms too small!

Here it is built up with Campagnolo 10 speed:

More info about Sancinento here. This frame is probably from the mid 90s.

Sizing

• Top tube 56cm CTC
  
• Seat tube 56cm CTC
  
• 1" threaded steerer
  
• 27.0mm seat post (apparently some frame builders would flip the seat tube for better ride characteristics. Varonha frameworks can bore this out to 27.2mm for £30)
  
• Clearance for 700x27c tyres (but only just!)
  
• 130mm rear spacing
  
• Braze-on FD
  
  

Good Points

• Columbus Thron tubing
  
• Internal cable routing
  
• Columbus drop outs
  
• Spicy paintwork with fades, lazers and Italian signatures
  
• Chrome on most of the rear triangle and fork blades
  
  

Bad Points

• Various paint chips (see pictures for the worst)
  
• Tiny shallow dent in top tube (pic)
  
• Slight bulge at the top of the seat tube where someone tried to force a larger seat post. The clamp works perfectly when using the correct sized post, so this is only a visual issue. Still, thought you should know. Again, see the pictures.
  
  

Asking £250 collected from South London. sold

I can also include the seat post (this one) for an extra £5.

Peugeot often did that on their 753 Perthus Pro frames...so a 26.8mm seatpost was needed....GLWS.

lovely - is the campag group for sale?

@mattyc not at the moment. its a mix and match of veloce, chorus and record but works surprisingly well

I'm glad this is not my size, I can't buy more bikes. GLWS

Amazing frame

Shpice galore. Would buy in a heartbeat if it was slightly taller.

Very nice! Sancineto make some of the finest frames around. I believe the paintwork is by dossena carlo

"dossena" is going straight to my ebay alerts!

Another painter well worth checking out is mario martini! http://www.frameteller.it/2016/03/31/martini-verniciatura/ Enjoy :)

Good luck with the sale! i would have went for this if i didn't already have a sancineto max en route to my house.

Sancineto Max

I saw one at a jumble last Sunday (size 60 at the very least) and it was a thing of beauty, even with a regular paint job. Do post yours when it's arrived.

How has this still not sold!!?
If only a little bigger.

Dossena-like Paintjob. Originals have the triangle logo "varnished by.."
Still a very bautiful paintjob and fair prizing.

Do you mind me asking how tall you are? Struggling to decide on a size as my previous ~60cm bikes have felt big for me at ~6'1''.

I'm 6-2 with an ape index ~1.0 and found this frame a few cms too low for me. the top tube length was good though.

Cheers, although it's a beauty sounds like I best avoid getting something too small!

I hear you. This was clearly too small for me when I bought it, but couldn't resist the paint work!
