No pictures yet, hoping for a bike range on this though

Paletti Columbus



I originally bought this as a project bike, but I have more practical transportation needs these days so I'm putting it up for sale.

The frame is 80's era Paletti, lugged Columbus SLX steel. Frame is straight, but does have a few small dents. It's been powder coated with a metallic blue and the finish is very smooth and nice.

The braze-ons are all intact, nothing was filed down for the fixie conversion, so you can build it out to a 10 or 12 speed if that's your thing.

It has C-Record campagnolo cranks (rather janky, honestly), and misc hodge podge of other components (e.g. a Cinelli stem, nitto handlebars, a pantographed Campy seat post, random wheels of unknown provenance).

I paid $500.00 plus shipping for my 84ish Palletti Super Prestige. It had original paint and was in 9/10 condition.

You probably have chrome under the powdercoat.

so what do you think for this, 250-300ish? the dents are a concern, but I can't locate them in the pictures.

Hard to say. I don't really know the the value of mine. I can't say I'm wild about the powdercoat job. Can you see it in person?
