Bottecchia Columbus MS frame quality?

[Ret spotter]

Evening all. I've got a chance to buy a bottecchia Columbus MS with full dura ace group set. Its abit (not ridiculous) expensive but I believe these ms frames are rare and can't stop thinking should I? Have any of you guys owned one? Ride quality?

The missus will be over the moon also! :facepalm: Where to hide another bike?!

Thanks

If you can't stop thinking of it, just buy it.

The trick with the next bike thing / missus issue is to buy a cheap sacrificial machine, hide it away and then when you get a new one say you will sell one off. Pull the cheap one out and get shot of it. You can't go wrong. One in one out.

Ah, is it the one for sale in the for sale section?

It's not worth a grand in my opinion, although ADR colours from 1989? Wow!

It may work for you Matt but my wife knows everyone of my bikes and their worth but she's happy that it keeps me out of mischief.

Any back to the tubing not much about them just they were light and rare theres an article here http://www.anvilbikes.com/the-columbus- ... en-orphan/

I wouldn't of put a grand price tag on it either.
