SOLD 56cm Dave Hinde Columbus SL frame with full Campag Mirage

This is lovely - really nicely built Dave Hinde in Columbus SL - it's around 1994 I think and although I understand that it's had a repaint at some time in its life, it's very original and clearly has had very little use from new. The frame has plenty of chips and scrapes from use but no dents or damage. I certainly don't think it needs a respray as the deep metallic cherry red enamel is really nice.

Full Campagnolo 8 speed groupset with Ergo shifters - mainly Mirage - all running perfectly and chain & cassette are nearly new
Lovely wheels (Campag hubs again - I think Mirage but can't be sure) built onto Mavic open SUP CD rims - the rims are only really just losing their anodising on the brake track so good indication of overall wear of the bike
25mm Gatorskins (I think easily room for 28s)
Cinelli 65 bars, XA stem (in Century finish)
Thomson seatpost
Bottle cage

I've re-routed the cables as the cable routing was all over the place - it's running beautifully and the ride is exactly as you'd expect for handmade steel; really smooth -

Pedals and pump not included

I bought it in a bereavement sale simply because I loved the look of it and Dave is my LBS, but realistically I'm not going to use it so better that someone gets some use out of it.

£325 plus postage (I'm in Cheshire)

Gorgeous and cheap, GLWS

Thanks @miller -
Of course, I wholeheartedly agree - but then I’m biased! 😁

Now moved to eBay

Any interest at £275? (It’s still on eBay but for a lot more so offering here at this giveaway price)

V nice as usual, glws!

Thanks 👍👍👍

Lot of bike for the money. Probs first time in a decade I've not been trying to find a clueless mate a nice bike at a good price. Typical

😆try me?

Actually don’t wan’t a road bike, very similar to my 56cm Duell really, which hardly ever gets ridden these days.

This is such a bargain.

Tbh - I’ve got another project arriving on Friday so I need a bit of cash for that - otherwise I’d be keeping this a bit longer because it’s lovely!! (I can’t help myself when it comes to getting drawn in by the shinies!! 😂)

I’ve just realised that I’ve changed a couple of things since the original ad above too - now has brand new bar tape and a 39 inner ring!

(The new project is too big for me in any case so will deffo be getting moved on once it’s had a bit of work!!)

Lots of bargain bikes out there atm.

If only I had the room; then I'd go out and buy more bikes, until I didn't.

This is true - selling is painful but buying is a joy! 😂

Lol. That Duell is lush. Crazy bargz on steel road bikes from that era ATM. Must be the ease of external, mechanical cable routing and long lasting chains and cassettes putting people off 🤔

the ease of external, mechanical cable routing and long lasting chains and cassettes putting people off

hahahaaaaaa

Somebody pleaase buy this so i don't have to

I've just had precisely the opposite of that with a modern carbon frame with absolutely nightmare-ish routing - drove me bat-crazy!!! You are soooooo right!

Nah, just buy it - you know it makes sense! 😂

Unbelievably, this is still here!

I’m willing to do deals here - so I am willing to split if anyone is interested in a good shape complete Campag Mirage groupset and wheels, or the frame/forks/headset (not selling small bits off until at least one of those have gone)

Otherwise, I’ll do the full bike for a “once only” price of £250 but with a much used black alloy seatpost instead of the Thomson

Btw I fitted a brand new rear tyre in it on Monday as the old one was delaminating on the sidewall - so you’re getting that too!

@Skülly - surely nows the time to press “go” 😂

Please someone buy this! It's a barghain and its beautiful

Thanks! Totally agree - I thought it would get snapped up!

Groupset and wheels sold!

For anyone interested in the frame set and bars/stem/saddle, they’ll be listed separately soon so I’ll close this thread for now and open a new one for those once it’s all stripped…..
