I'm going to be cheeky here and use Ben's original description and photo as they're a lot better than mine will ever be.
"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."
Please follow the link for further images.
Since owning it I've added a c-record pista headset, although it's slightly indexed and could do with new bearings, and campagnolo seat binder bolt.
Due to the above I'm offering this up for £220
The frame is located in De Beauvoir although I'm happy to deliver within reason.
If/when the frame sells I'll be selling a 90mm Nitto jag stem, sr royal pista cranks and nitto rb010 bars.
