After seeing a friend successfully restore a Colnago Pista and feeling fairly envious, I thought I needed to get in on the action, hence I now have my own Italian track restoration project on the go. So unfortunately I need to sell my current frame and fork setup…
I got the frame from Jos (of Tour de Ville) a few years back but he was unsure of it's maker. But from what I have deduced, the frame is Columbus Aelle tubing, owing to the 26.8 seat post size and may well be of Belgian origin, as I know a lot of his old stock used to be. That aside, it's still a pretty looking, solid frame.
The frame is 59.5cm (CTC) with a 57cm top tube (CTC). Has an undrilled rear bridge, features some nice handout lugs, Campag dropouts and seat post bolt, the BB is English threaded and the seat post size is 26.8mm
The forks I had custom made by Lee Cooper in Columbus SLX. They feature a flat crown, slightly aero legs and have fairly tight clearances with 23s. Undrilled.
My shite photography skills and dull weather didn't manage to capture the sparkle clear coat on top of the white, but it's there, trust me... The frame has a few scuffs from use, but nothing major. Absolutely no dents or damage of any other sort.
I'll be sad to see this go.
Sold (ish)
Only frame and fork are for sale.
Located in London, E9.
Collection preferred.... May consider posting. Will have to check cost though.
