Cinelli Columbus Max

[jordic1968]

This is the reason I need to make room at home and selling all my other bikes....

I' m really sorry for the campy lovers, but this will go with my almost nos DA7400 I've been collecting for many many months looking for this occasion.

I could not find though any reference to this model . Has anyone seen a Cinelli with Columbus Max not being the pista Laser ?

No, but that is delightful! More pictures please.

Re:

Lovely looking frameset.

Maybe it's something else that has been repainted / badged as a cinelli?

[jordic1968]

yep, pretty similar.. probably mine is a proto as well? Or a contractor just produced different pieces and sold them to Cinelli / Bianchi... I'm the second owner and the first one told me he bought it from Cinelli originally

Thanks for the replies ! Will post more pics....

 

[jordic1968]

Here more pics. I can say it rides beautifully, very noble (and is very comfortable) !

I've seen similar ones on the web from Van Tuyl, made by Andrea Pesenti ( the framebuilder of the Cinelli Laser - Laserman- ) . Probably he made this one as well.

This will go with a full DA 7400 and a Cinelli Grammo seat post if I ever find one..., so I'll be selling all campy parts if anyone interested.

Re:

Stunning bike and 7400 is a lovely groupset but wouldn't record be more fitting?

 

[jordic1968]

Thanks! Quite a few record bits now, and probably you're right. It's just a personal preference towards Shimano. Never get used really to campy shifting. And it's a pity for that wheelset I know. But I plan to ride this one regularly, and just feel mor comfortable with Shimano.

Would look great with ANY groupset. DA 7700, 10 speed Record, 11 speed etc. Beautiful frame.

Proof that understated can out-shout a shouty paintjob.
