Hello all,
58cm Tomahawk Columbus SLX track frame for sale.
Frame, forks and Campag Record headset only.
Excuse the rubbish picture, it was taken on my phone. I'll take some better ones with a bit more detail when I get home later and post them up tonight.
Some more pics here: http://www.lfgss.com/post2080416-46049.html & here: http://www.lfgss.com/post2080744-46064.html Not brilliant but they give you an idea.
I had this frame custom made for me in France in 1994 and rode it to a bronze medal in the national junior sprint championships that year behind James Taylor and Chris Hoy.
It was made with a very high bottom bracket for clearance on steep tracks and a forward sloping top tube. It has a short wheelbase due to the curved seat tube and is extremely stiff. She is, if I do say so myself, a thing of beauty.
This frame is completely unique and a fantastic piece of workmanship, there isn't another one like it in the world.
It's been in storage since '96 until this year when I rode it at some of the early Herne Hill track league meetings this year and she still rides like a dream.
No dents, dings or scratches, never been crashed. Some very minor cosmetic wear to paintwork and the lazer cut stickers are slightly damaged in places. The metallic blue paint job really needs to be seen in the flesh as photos don't really do it justice
English BB, 27.2mm seatpost.
As you can imagine, this is a reluctant sale as the bike does hold considerable sentimental value for me, but I'm moving house soon and need to clear out old stuff and make some space.
SOLD
Cash & Collection from Forest Hill, SE23. Postage at cost considered.
I'll also be at the Back in Black meeting at Herne Hill track on 3rd of September, I can bring it down there for viewing or collection if it hasn't already been sold by then.
