For Sale: Battaglin Columbus/ Campagnolo road bike

I know this has been up for sale before, it received a load of interest, but didn't sell due to a dodgy rear axle. This has now been fixed by Vaidas in Honor Oak and the bike is mechanically sound and ready to roll...

Battaglin Millenium Superpower, the frame has a 54cm ctc seat-tube and 55cm top-tube and is built from Columbus 'Brain' tubing. It is in pretty good condition, with a few chips and a bit of minor wear to the decals - structurally spot on. It has a really nice distinctive lug at the seatpost cluster.

Front and rear mech and crank (172.5mm) are Campagnolo Veloce.
Monoplanar brakes and ergo-levers are Athena (8 speed).
Wheels are Campagnolo hubs to Mavic 4CD ceramic rims (hand-built by Dave Russell). There is brake wear to both wheels, but they are perfectly true and have lots of life left in them. It'll be sold without saddle or pedals I'm afraid.

£270, collected from SE23, with 10% of the sale going to the forum.

nice..

Worth the money, and a with 10% forum donation well played.bump

its a lovely bike and am very tempted, and not usually on retro but....IMHO its as good as a Colnago without the price tag.

The only "q" I have is it slot rear ends or vertical ends- its difficult to make out from the pic- could be either way

Not sure whether I'm thankful or cursing the fact that this is too small for me.

dibs, PM sent.

The wheel isn't actually properly inserted in the drops in the picture - they are somewhere in between the two, if that makes sense!

Nice Columbus fork!

good deal...
