For Sale: Duell Warrior Frame - 57cm - Columbus Brain

SOLD, SOLD, SOLD

Please oh please someone buy this quick! It is causing me a great deal of pain seeing this hanging in my garage unbuilt, I am so tempted to build it and keep it but money and the boss won't let me!!!

It is an absolute beauty. Great paintjob albeit with a few blemishes here and there plus some not great touching up but it looks real smart in my opinion and will build up into a fantastic ride for sure.

Engravings on the fork crown, bb shell, curved brake bridge and the seat lug. Chrome chainstays and vertical drops. Ovalised down tube. STI guides. Power forks.

Size is 57cm x 55.5cm (ct x cc)
Rear drops 130mm

I'll have to check the seatpost diameter.

£180 posted.

A frame with outstanding qualities, no doubt about that.

why would bruce springsteen stop you building that?

cheap?.. I thought Brain was top stuff

MAN.. How I lust for a Duell.. Very nice Tel, good luck!

Rodolfo this is your opportunity to own a very fine Duell, think it's about your size...postage to EU is an extra £25....

Surprisingly this is still up for grabs! And the sale of this has just fallen through....

Got a couple of other bikes I'm working on at the mo but this is now inline to be built unless someone buys one or the other.

Built up with the Campag Athena Ergo group with Rigida DP18 rims, Cinelli bars & stem and titanium saddle will be about £450 just in case someone wants to put dibs on the build.

was the seatpost 27.2?

Oh yeah sorry, yes just checked and it is 27.2mm

Tel.....occasionally the Working Classes' stand up to their bosses and get concessions and occasionally they push their masters off their thrones.....this is your chance to storm the barricades.....and challenge the boss....what have you got to lose?.....But a built up frame to gain!

Haha, thanks, but no need these days.. Was donated an alu frame by the father of friend which is my next project after finishing my other next tourer project.. Then I'll probably switch the Dura-Ace on the Gazelle Exception (remember, yellow/blue, 731OS) for Record/Chorus and build the alu frame with the remaining Chorus bits.. I've got two gruppo's..:)Good luck with selling this, Duell is IMO the best small framebuilder from the Netherlands, you will not be disappoint!

BTW, Tel, could you maybe help me out?

What have I got to lose? Well she might leave me and take the kids...hmmm doesn't sound too bad so far! haha but then I need my house so that I can build my bikes. I could probably build it on the quiet, she might not even notice the appearance of another bike.

Oh yes I forgot your updated flock. I do agree with you about Duell's being the best of the small frame builders, personally I rate them over the Gazelles, Batavus and Concordes and that is certainly a testimony to their quality as all those are mighty fine machines. Duell are still available and imported into the UK by Mosquito cycles

beauty!!! very good price!!!

Tel do You want to swap it for cinelli milano chrome steel badged stem in excellent condition :) ?

Tel do You have Campag Record or Chorus 8 or 9 speed rear mech in good nick for sale?

I am huge fan and proud owner of Duell

Ahhh she is only bluffing.....i am sure you could charm her...every woman has her price.....my ladies is a laptop!....be Bold!

I can confirm Tel about the quality of Duell as frame builder in Holland. Jan van Dalen was and still is a builder who make high tech frames. Not dozens a day but only when he has time and you will pay......... This Brain frame must be stiff with excellent driving skills.

Aye. Lovely signature details and sculptured buts.

No doubt on that Duells are excellent bikes. They are. It is a bit too easy to say they are the best small builder of The Netherlands. There were many I doubt whether any of you ever tried a Zieleman, Presto, Reus, RIH or whatever. All great bikes. Telling what is best is a bit comparing apples with peaches, as most will be subject to taste. Professionals and in particular Champion Mondials came in many flavours. Something to keep in mind too when comparing.

Amazed it is still here. Sold my groupset so I can't build it myself now. Had one person seriously interested but he wanted to respray it!!! So reluctant to let him have it....

I'll take it.

nice work skullface

not yet, Tel's gone all quiet on me... perhaps he nodded off.

I wish! I went to work, back now though, but going to bed soon...

If this had been marginally smaller, would've been all over this...

Please let somebody buy this otherwise i take it and bring it back to Holland. This is BIKE CULTURE!
