1980's Columbus Aelle Road Frame - can anyone ID please?

[mrgumby]

I picked this up last week in Poole, really pleased with it but no idea what it is yet..

It had a real mix of parts on it:
Campagnolo Gran Sport derailleur and Pedals - early 80's
Shimano 105 headset and Front mech - late 80's
Shimano 600 cranks and Italian Bottom Bracket - early 80's

It looks to me like a late 80's frames. Was thinking maybe someone carried over their favourite parts onto a new frame at some point?

Anyway, I know almost nothing about European bikes. Any info or tips would be much appreciated...

cheers,
MAtt

Could be a Concorde I'm sure I have seen one in these colours before.

I was wondering that.. After going through googke looking at pictures of columbuus aelle frames, the concorde bike seemed to go in for the day glo paint quite a bit...

I saw a similar looking brake bridge on a 'de rosa' bike but from what I've seen de Rosa bikes had De Rosa on the columbus sticker so i dont think its one of those..

Thanks Maca

Hmm, good point Maca, there is a guy here with a Concorde in similar colours and it too is a Columbus steel and has a mix of Shimano 105 and 600 from what I remember. He's not here now until next Wednesday but I'll try to remember and have a look.
