FS : Fausto Coppi KXR8 Columbus XLR8R Aluminium w Columbus Carve Carbon Mono Seatstays

Here are two framesets that have been gathering dust in my attic for some years now, might as well put them up for grabs. Photos are a tad old and weren't intended for a sale advertisement but no time for new ones at the moment, nothing changed to them in the meantime though. Both located in Bucharest, Romania. Local, probably nonexistent, forum members are invited to come by and take a look.

1. Fausto Coppi KXR8 - very nice and fairly light weight, high end frameset from the early 2000's. Bought it built up almost 10 years ago, rode it a bit than took apart to put some lighter parts on but ended up never seeing the light of day again.
   Size: ST 58 c-t-t, TT 55 c-t-c
   Main tubes and chainstays are made out of Columbus XLR8R aluminium, clean welds and interesting geometry; seatstays & fork out Columbus Carve carbon. The fork probably weighs way more than it should, whole thing is ~1900g. Original Columbus headset, some shimano bb and the seatpost clamp included.
   As you can see there are no decals, everything is paint. It has a very nice pearl which looks absolutely stunning in the sun but unfortunately can't seem to capture it on my phone camera. Condition is fair, mostly some paint chips on the drive side chaintstay, otherwise very few all around around.

   Asking 4̶5̶0̶ 400£shipped or best offer.

2. Scapin EOS 5 - all around a great and reliable steel frameset, slightly oversized downtube, has some panto on the BB, seatpost bolt goes through/is integrated in the seatstays. Made out of Columbus Nemo tubes, decent weight from what I remember but will weigh for exact number when I'm back in town.
   Size: ST 57 c-t-t, TT 57 c-t-c
   Come's with some random Ritchey headset, the original Scapin seatpost and an extra aluminium one due to the og having small crack which I've pictured down below. I've rode the original plenty enough to cause problems but nothing happened, in case it's start getting dodgy you can just swap it out.

   Asking 3̶0̶0̶ 2̶7̶0̶ ̶£̶ SOLD

dat scapin...!

Doesn’t that horrible Andrew Tate bloke live near you? He may need a bike as they’ve taken all his cars

Very tempted by that Scapin. Rode a track frame with the same tubing for years, would be great to add a road frame to the collection...

Edit: What are the tyre clearances like on the Scapin?

Do you make a similar comment to anyone from Romania?

No , why are you offended? I’m commenting on his character and the fact that he is in Romania not the character of you or Romanian people in general.....

Must be a lovely frame, I'm low key jealous... Share a picture with us :)

As far as tyre clearance goes, used to run 28c back & 25c front in the pic where it's built up. Think you could stretch in a 28c front one but not 100% sure as I've never tried, might do a test when I'm back home from vacation.

Have you had the BB off on the Scapin? Just checking it's not stuck!

Of course, everything that should've been mentioned is already in the ad, I'm not trying to con anybody here. There's actually a pic in there, showcasing the panto, where you can see the bb shell being empty :)
