As the bids on these things usually shoot up in the last minute or so, I was quite surprised I won this one. Maybe because it was misspelled "Fondreist" in the description, there weren't many looking at it?
I know it's not the greatest Columbus steel frame, but I figure it'll be a nice bike on the road. I'm only missing a couple things out of my collected "box o' crap" that's got some Campy Mirage 9-speed bits, so it shouldn't take long to build up.
I don't see a lot of info about the frame, so if anyone knows more about it, please chime in. Columbus Gara, I read on another forum is "3 steps below SLX". But it's got chrome forks, a chrome chainstay, and nice lugs - I can't see going too far wrong for the price.
Ebay seller's original photo. I'll post more when I get it, and of the build and final result.
