I am now selling this French frameset if you are interested.

From what I know - late 1970's, Columbus Aelle steel frame.

• 53cm square (centre to centre) - no frame numbers & rear Gipiemme droupouts
  
• French threaded bottom bracket (35x1) - comes with a usable Shimano one
  
• Unbranded french threaded chrome forks - comes with a usable Stronglight alloy headset (which I removed for cleaning).
  
• Takes a 26.2mm seatpost
  
  

There is some surface rust to address so it would benefit from being acid dipped and repainted.

A nice project for someone keen to have a small-ish frame.

I am after £20 only

Cheers for thinking of me, but I'm not in the market!

Ben riding this for a week.
Just got some photos up.
Had it built by Trevor at Autumn Frameworks a while back. Was a super gaudy glitter and candy finish. Now it's got a slightly less OTT flip fade and some mirror polished hardware.
Full set over at Cole Coatings Workshop.

That thing is sick.

Dat ass though!!

Looks so much better with the new paint job. The last one was very impressive but a bit OTT I thought. Looks sick

Agreed.

+1 so nice!

New post and stem on njs town bike. Gonna put on some dura ace to open pro wheels when I can afford some tyres

Just got this frame back from my brother, unsure what to do with it. Was thinking of full retro (got a shimano 600 group knocking about) but then stuck some 38mm carbon wheels on it and I like it. Nahsty, or nasty?

Those wheels are crap, I'll take them off your hands

Ha ha. You don't want them. The rear has rim damage hence their being used on this bike (summer cruising only).

Its for my fancy bike. I don't cycle, just post pictures of it on the internet for attention

It's all about that #content

I should go into marketing

You don't want to go plastering the internet with pictures of your damaged rim

Try ebay.de :)

Got two used ones nearly new for £50, but you need to search there, and then ask if they ship abroad.

good tip, thanks!

I've been riding from Karlsruhe through the black forest to Basel and then through France into the Morvan on my Awol. She has been great:

Love the handlebar-mounted birds. They must add a bit of weight though?

I think the drag mostly adds up, but maybe one can take off on fast descents?!

Can you not just put a longer bolt and a nut on there?

Ohey hello shitty weather

Yes, that does look like pretty severe fog in your kitchen
