This is lovely - really nicely built Dave Hinde in Columbus SL - it's around 1994 I think and although I understand that it's had a repaint at some time in its life, it's very original and clearly has had very little use from new. The frame has plenty of chips and scrapes from use but no dents or damage. I certainly don't think it needs a respray as the deep metallic cherry red enamel is really nice.
Full Campagnolo 8 speed groupset with Ergo shifters - mainly Mirage - all running perfectly and chain & cassette are nearly new
Lovely wheels (Campag hubs again - I think Mirage but can't be sure) built onto Mavic open SUP CD rims - the rims are only really just losing their anodising on the brake track so good indication of overall wear of the bike
25mm Gatorskins (I think easily room for 28s)
Cinelli 65 bars, XA stem (in Century finish)
Thomson seatpost
Bottle cage
I've re-routed the cables as the cable routing was all over the place - it's running beautifully and the ride is exactly as you'd expect for handmade steel; really smooth -
Pedals and pump not included
I bought it in a bereavement sale simply because I loved the look of it and Dave is my LBS, but realistically I'm not going to use it so better that someone gets some use out of it.
