Columbus genius frame and forks FS 100 euro

brownian

Having bought a new bike and moved the drivetrain across, I now find myself with the old frame and forks in stock, and happy to move them on for a modest sum. A great set up for someone who wants to build up a light, fast bike.

This is the same actual frame; I had it built up by ciclicorsa: https://ciclicorsa.tumblr.com/page/3


Specs:

Toray H60 3k

900 grams (medium)

Internal Cable Routing

Di2 and EPS Compatible

1.5/1.25 Tapered Headtube/Steerer

Asymmetric Chainstays

BB86 Monobloc BB Shell

What you get:
One Columbus Genius monocoque frame, size 56 (suits 5'6" to 6' rider; I'm 5'8").
Two Columbus forks (a Tusk and a Gram, IIRC); one is brand new (never fitted), the other is well used.



The frame is logo'd "Pintail" and www.pintail.eu; this is the company I work for, who did a sponsorship deal when I got the bike. It's not odd or offensive, but it's not a mainstream brand. The head-tube and forks are Columbus branded.
The frame got a nasty scrape off a garage door, and also has some smaller nicks - this is not at all an immaculate frame. But it's a great ride.

A hundred euros and collect it in Deansgrange.

do you have top tube length?? trying to judge size

brownian

Here's the geo:
Reach 382
Stack 567
Wheelbase 980

Top tube is either 550 or 534 (the columbus table is not v. clear on this!). The actual Columbus size is "L" (not very informative).

I used it quite a bit for week-long tours in the Alps and Pyrenees, and found it fine, day after day. Of course, that's just me...

I've added a few pictures of it to the album, as used touring around.

thanks for pics, wrong size for me unfortunatley

magicbastarder

that's quite a small 56 - i can see why it'd suit your height. GLWS, i don't have space for another bike...

That damage on the down tube looks pretty bad almost crush like. A shame as it's a nice looking frame I like the deep blue colour.

The damage is actually cosmetic - the bike was stupidly leant against the rail that a garage door slides on. The front wheel turned sideways, as they will, and the bike slid down along the rail, spoiling the lovely paint. It's been well ridden since-there is absolutely zero crush or other serious damage.

The colour is translucent - you can see the carbon weave through it. A once-off by the painter at ciclicorsa.

sorry to hear this - they seem accessible to me (even in a new browser). If you want to DM me an email address, I'll send them on...but I'm not fighting with Boards's photo technology, which wrecks my head.

Thanks but no.
It was on the royal canal just beyond the barberstown bridge going west.
Went back for a better look today but reckon the canal has claimed it.

With apologies to Koutoubia and others - I found the only holiday house in Kerry with no phone, no wifi, nothing. When we drove someplace, I checked work emails, but didn't get to browse boards, etc.

Koutoubia was first in line, but has backed out due to lost Garmin 8-(

So far as I know, WTB is currently in the frame (ahem) for this sale, and I have just confirmed this in the messenger thing.

I'm back on line (in work!), so responses should be much faster - apologies to anyone who was inconvenienced!

offer 80euro collected

brownian

I think 'next in line' means 'offer asking'? But just for clarity - I can't accept 80 euro, but 100 euro gets you the frame and two (pairs of) forks. Collected in Deansgrange, no posting (Even if you offer to pay posting). Sorry to be inflexible, but that's the offer.

wpd

okay deal at asking will pm to arrange collection

koutoubia

Gutted.
But such is life!

MojoMaker

Next in line if it falls through please.

brownian
