    Description

    If you're into vintage Italian road gear, this is an exceptional opportunity.  Obtained in a shipment of Columbus SL double butted frames provided to our team by Benotto as sponsorship, this 56cm was essentially a spare.  It was built with what were, in 1982-83, state of the art Italian components by the team's mechanic.  It was ridden very little and is original to its build.  Never crashed.  See photos to verify its like new condition.  Components are listed below:
    Campagnolo
    Super Record cranks 170mm, 42-53 chainrings
    Super Record derailleurs
    Super Record seat post

    The bike is without pedals, however I have a set of used Campy Super Record with alloy clips and Binda straps in decent condition with new dust-caps, or a set of Look Carbo Pro pedals if you'd like either of those.  Or both if you'd like. See photo.
    Check that the tires are still firmly affixed to the wheels before riding.  They've been on the bike a long time.  No warranties apply and none are implied.

    SHIPPING:
    Local pickup is an option if it's convenient for you.  Or, the bike will be shipped in a ShipBikes.com Air Caddy box via FedEx Ground.  As I will need to have the Air Caddy shipped to me, then pack and ship, total shipment time might be estimated from 10 to 15 days.  See ShipBikes.com for information on the Air Caddy system.  All you have to do is tilt the bars up, install the saddle and seat post, put the front wheel on.  The box system is collapsible and can be re-used for your future travels.
