Columbus Cento "Olivetti Valentine LTD" Tribute Frame: Custom 58cm
Columbus Cento "Olivetti Valentine LTD" Tribute Frame: Custom 58cm
A concept created with Columbus, Sram and myself to pay homage to my family’s history, I created this bike with some very specific details. It also happened to be the 100 year anniversary for Columbus so it was a prefect project.
The Frame Specs:
Columbus Cento Tubing: Specially made for the 100 anniversary of Columbus. This was a VERY LIMITED run tubeset with specific tube specs and butt profiles that the builder had to chose specific to the production geometry. It also have engraved BB with the crazy bubble shell, Engraved internal cut headtube, and Columbus seat tube sleeve with carved out bird.
MAP Stainless Steel dropouts: these were custom made dropouts that Carl at Metal-Guru had made. These were the last of them. Beautiful window design, they just don’t make dropouts like this anynore..
Wireless ONLY Design.
Fully Custom Wet Paint design executed by Angry Bovine Design Studio, Paint done Ollie at Dark Matter Finishing with Debossed Logos and matching Silca frame pump.
The details on this paint are amazing, it is designed to take it queues from Olivetti Valentine typewriter designed by Ettore Sotsass.
Component Specs:
Sram Force AXS 12 speed wireless Rim Brake group.
The Chain, Cranks and BB are brand new just replaced: nothing wrong with the old ones, I just happened to have a new setup that thought would be nice for the buyer.
Columbus Futura Tapered Carbon Fork meticulously painted to match the designed colorway.
Zipp 303 NSW Carbon Rim Brake Road Wheels with new Enve SL 29c tires (thought slightly discolored for some reason,)
Upgrade to NEW Shimano Ultegra Brakes, the Force Brakes were too weak. I literally have IS NEVER USED THESE BRAKES ON THE BIKE THEY ARE NEW OUT OF BOX ON THE BIKE has extra set of carbon pads as well.
New Enve Stem and Seat post.
Zipp Service Course SL bar 42cm
Silca Impero Ultimate Frame Pump: custom painted to follow color way
Condition:
This bike has been one of the best riding bikes I have ever had or made. I just don’t ride it enough, and in so it has been sitting either in my office or in my work shop, and after it took 2 or so brushes with stuff in the shop putting some small scratches in the paint, I figured it is best to get the bike into the hands of someone who will ride it rather than let it continually sit around. I have posted as many accurate photos as I can here. There are many new parts which are listed above. The whole bike is roughly 16.5 lbs, and rides like a dream.
The tubeset and paint alone were well over $2500, I am pretty firm on the price but feel free to reach out. You will never find another bike like this one!
