Cat2forLife Posted August 17, 2017 Share 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 531Fork/Headset:Du Toit Columbus 531Pedals:Gipiemme Dual SprintDerailleurs/Shifters:Campagnolo 980 6 speedHandlebars/Stem:Fiamme Dallas/ Cinelli QuillSaddle/Seatpost:Selle Italia AnatomicaBrakes:Modolo Speedy GoldFront Wheel/Hub/Tire:Mavic GP4/ Campagnolo 980Rear Wheel/Hub/Tire:Mavic GP4/ Campagnolo 980 If anyone's interested, Here's my modest collection: https://www.pedalroom.com/members/MrFocus Pure Savage, mon-goose, BuffsVintageBikes and 17 others 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
