• Fillet brazed TT frame. Looks to be Columbus Air to me, although no stickers to denote tubing. Steel frame. Teardrop shaped seat tube and down tube, quite narrow ovalised top tube. British BB. Pretty sure it takes a 27.0mm Seatpost... Calipers are in that region and 27.2 doesn't fit.

    Sizing as follows:

    Seat tube 64cm c2t

    Seat tube 47cm c2c

    Top tube 51cm

    Headtube 10.5cm

    For 700c wheels and 1inch fork steerer

    Rear spacing 130mm

    Columbus dropouts.

    Pictures up shortly...

    Collection only from Camberwell SE5

    £55

  • nice, and cheap

  • Thanks! Hopefully someone will take it away and do something cool with it :-)

  • Nice price, but I don't think it could be a Columbus Air frame. Too recent, I guess.

  • Cool frame, don't think it's air either. Don't think I've ever seen and Columbus air frames with fillet brazed lugs

  • Nice and so cheap! Tad too big for me but glws

  • Reckon you chaps are correct, have amended the title. Thanks for the positive comments!

    Anyone able to make an educated guess on the type of tubing it might be, out of interest?

  • could be EGO tubing

  • Think thats a pretty good suggestion! found a picture of this Chas Roberts that looks rather similar...

  • columbus air is aluminum

  • 'Airplane' is alu, 'air' is steel I thought?

  • my bad
    i thought they were one and the same

  • No worries, there's literally so many obscure tube sets! Had never heard of ego before yesterday

  • Price drop £50 - low enough to entice anyone to have a pop at building this up?

  • Top seller. Someone buy this

  • Would you post? There would be no rush...

  • @Pifko yes I would. Currently have interest via PM but if that falls through will offer up postage. Will be about £15

    Thanks for the bump thrasher :-)

  • Sold to @Ellis47

    top bloke, thanks

  • Just confirming some things about this frame for anyone who is interested.
    It is definately columbus ego tubing.
    I came across this on etsy and it looks identical other than the internal routing and a completely different frame builder.
    Opinions and ideas?

  • You got a bargain!

  • @Skülly
    I love it
    my only problem is I cant seem to find a 26.6 seatpost

  • Happy you like it :) Sorry for the red herring on the Seatpost size, shoulda measured it properly :s my bad

    Looking forward to seeing it built up... I guess you've already looked on eBay for a 26.6?

  • They're out there. Tried Hilary Stone?

  • So jealous you got this. Will it become a TT bike?
