For Sale: 1980s Detto Pietro - Full bike - Columbus MS Gilco frame

Hi all,

I've reluctantly decide to part with my early 80s Detto Pietro bike. The frame is very high quality and very rare. I've found it difficult to find out online which Italian frame builder made these frames for Detto, but what I do know is that it's made from Columbus MS (multi-shape) Gilco tubing, has a Cinelli BB shell and Campag drop-outs. It has DP 'pantographed' all over the place - headtube, forks, BB shell, all lugs etc. Paint is excellent - hardly a mark or scratch anywhere, and the bike is built up with decent components. Very light and nice to ride.

Frame size
Seat tube: 61cm (c-c)
Top tube: 58cm (c-c)

Components
Chainset: Campagnolo Chorus
Pedals & Clips, Chainrings, Shifters, Derailleurs: all Campagnolo
Hubs: Ofmega, with Campagnolo QR skewers
Rims: Mavic
Brakeset: Modolo
Stem: 3TTT, pantographed Detto Pietro
Bars: Ambrosio 13 Volte Campione Del Mondo
Saddle: Selle Italia limited edition Fausto Coppi

Price is £340
I'm in Brighton and would much prefer pick up on this - or I can meet anyone coming from London half way at Gatwick. But I'm happy to post if necessary.

Thanks,
Paul

Nice

Good price

Why is it a 'five bar gate size'? if it was 54 or so Id buy this now , Grrrrrrrr

Im bloody good with an angle grinder (thinks )

Wish it was bigger

Excellent condition and excellent price.

Thinking quite seriously about it.

Do it

nice.
quality frame.

Dibs the saddle on the small chance that this gets split. Also for consideration of buyer. Please

Super tempted

Sod it, dibs PM on it's way

Jealous

I'm 5'8 would i be able to fit the frame, without the saddle being too low.

This is now provisionally sold to FONE pending payment and pick-up.

@VeloRapide - to be honest I think the frame would probably be slightly too big for you, or at least you would need to have the saddle as low as possible. I'm just over 5'11, and I think that's probably as short as you could be to ride this comfortably

.....didn't Detto Pietro make shoes?

So is it confirmed this has been sold?

Well established bike shop in Milano just a couple hundred metres from the Grand Milano Centrale Stazione!

Really nice bike.. glad you sold it and hope you got the asking price...

cheers c_c

Lovely detail down to the gorgeous Campionissimo saddle - rare indeed!

Wow indeed. Adds Columbus Gilco frameset to list of bikes I have to own.

You tall enough for this FONE?

I'm meeting FONE this weekend to complete the sale on this. If for any reason it doesn't work out I'll update the thread to let you all know it's still available.

You tall enough for this FONE?

Yeah Andy,I'm just over 6ft, took measurements of my current bike to make sure and it'll be perfect

For some reason I thought you were a similar height to me (aka a shortarse) I have no idea how I came to this conclusion.

Enjoy your bike (and being taller than me)

Also, where are you now?
