    For Sale SOLD Vicini Columbus MS with 2003 10 Speed Record Groupset in Nearly New condition

    I don't have any before pictures of the frame but it was free of any dents or rust internally and externally. I chose the frame for this reason as I wanted a multishape that I couldd invest a lot of money into a nice paint finish. Pretty much everything is engraved. I can send some photos of...
