Road Bike Columbus SL
Hi there,
I've seen this bike for sale. It's made by a french artisan in the 80s / 90s (so not a problem with the mismatches of the 70's french threads), frame and fork in Columbus SL, seat post Miche, wheel Wolber, Mavic hubs, Campagnolo breaks, seat San Marco Concor.
All in all, a really nice bike, in perfect mechanical condition.
The thing is the guy who sells it is asking for 250 dollars.
Is this price OK, or a little bit over priced?
Thanks in advance for the answers!
Cheers,
Nicolas.-

I think 250 is a steal I mean deal also. But only if it fits you. Those components, that tubing,the colors. What's not to like. What's frame brand name?

It's for a friend, and those measures fit him perfectly!

That is a real deal. The frame alone should be worth that much. Or more.

Looks very nice and a good deal. Be aware the geometry is very tight, judging from the pics.

Look at the brazing on that - looks like very high quality work. I hope by the time you read this, you already have the bike in hand.
