WTD: Columbus Max / Ego / Aero or Similar Road Frame - Size 55-56cm

Going to bump this long standing thread. While I eventually managed to sort myself out with a Columbus Ego my best mate is looking for something too and need to get it done for his birthday in May.

Brief as follows -

Tubing -
Max, Ego, MXL or anything aero profiled or different but has to be steel - No alu or carbon thanks.

Can be either road or cyclocross style.

There was an amazing yellow Sigma (roberts) cross frame with straight forks on ebay I loved but forgot to bid on it last year and been kicking myself since.

Size -

Top Tube - 56cm ctc max . 55cm ctc would be ideal
Seat Tube - anything around 56cm ctc give or take a bit

Details -

Fillet brazed preferred. 27.2mm Seatpost.
1" Threaded Max fork straight blades ideally but I have a spare if it comes with curved fork.
700c front and rear
BSC Threads ideally but not against anything else really.. even french threading is fine.
Tyre clearance needs to be at least 28mm

Origin -
Any brand, country or style tbh.

Paint -

Anything works, the more ratty the better as I assume will be cheaper. The plan is to respray anyways.

Budget -
Up to £350

Please attach photos to replies or via DM along with prices. I am based in London and happy to pay for post if its needed.

Thanks

Hi Mate

Currently scouting bikes in Italy and shipping them over to UK
Have a look at my insta page, there might be something for you ;)
@babyldn.bikes
Let me know

.

Erm, soz hadn't paid enough attention to the title to honest...But ill see what I can find and keep in the loop ;)

Rob Telfer Ego frame (ebay)?

Edit - sorry, it’s lugless

Annoyingly too small otherwise I would've secured it :-( headtube is 2cm lower down than my njs which prob isn't ideal for longer distances

Concorde Squadra Ego (Marktplaats)

It's tatty but cheap considering the new Look fork, the stem, the original fork (plus maybe the CK headset?) appear to be included! If it were bigger I'd be going to pick it up myself :)

Note: Collection only?

Thanks. I saw that one, there’s much wrong with it to warrant the hassle of shipping etc. There’s prob a crack in the frame somewhere under that rust
