I found this classic in a storage unit at a retirement village (don't ask what I was doing there). Fixed it up, serviced hubs, derailleurs, headset etc. Removed all the rust and put it back together.

 

All the parts are still original, except the chain, which was rusted beyond saving and the spokes.

 

Specs are as follows:

 

Frame:
Du Toit Columbus 531

Fork/Headset:
Du Toit Columbus 531

Pedals:
Gipiemme Dual Sprint

Derailleurs/Shifters:
Campagnolo 980 6 speed

Handlebars/Stem:
Fiamme Dallas/ Cinelli Quill

Saddle/Seatpost:
Selle Italia Anatomica

Brakes:
Modolo Speedy Gold

Front Wheel/Hub/Tire:
Mavic GP4/ Campagnolo 980

Rear Wheel/Hub/Tire:
Mavic GP4/ Campagnolo 980
