Cinelli

Don't take this the wrong way, BUT! Columbus make steel tubes not Aluminium, doesn't look like a Cinelli frame much to me?
They always did flamboyant paint jobs and very nice straight bladed rigid forks.
You also need to list the parts, modern Deore is not a very high value gruppo either.

Columbus do Steel, Aluminium and Carbon

Looks kosher to me, albeit a prototype perhaps - with geometry about 10 years behind everyone else in 2001

So advertised in the wrong section like most of the modern stuff on here

Novice....... world ranger !!!

The bike is 100 % genuine and never used since it was imported 10 years ago. At the time i was friends with the European sales manager and he got it for me.
Just had it serviced and the guy nearly fell off his chair when he saw it !!!

Not one to cast doubt on the frame as I know nothing about cinelli mtbs, but the deore groupset (inc wheels) would probably only be worth £100 as its not far from the bottom rung of the ladder. That would make that one special frame to make up the difference. Maybe it is, like I said I know nothing about it, but good luck with your sale.

Well for me the pretty unique shape of the down tube says Cinelli as I've seen similar on other road models, and the wishbone is nice too, though agree the components don't exactly help to lift an otherwise very nice frame... Swings and roundabouts eh

And yes... -----> 1998 section!

Columbus Zonal is definitely Kosher as I had a Tifosi road bike made out of it, so it is more usually used on road frames. As for the rest it is one big crap shoot with those pictures
