Two Columbines offered for sale: Email me for more pictures.

First one has very fancy stainless lugs on a white frame. Frame is 56cm c-c seat tube and 54cm c-c toptube. Wheelbase is 96.5cm and there isn't much rear tire clearance between the tire and seat tube. I am moving to mostly 700x25-28 tires and this one will not take a tire larger than 700x23. I suspect this is Tange Prestige tubing, but no stickers. John Murphy preferred Prestige and the other Columbines I have owned had Reynolds stickers when he used Reynolds and no stickers with Prestige. No dents or significant issues. The original owner's name is under clear at the back of the toptube and I have put white tape over the name. Gorgeous frame. When I got this one, the lugs had clearcoat on them that had yellowed. It is a repaint by Joe Bell. Joe told me how to remove the clearcoat. I got most of it. In one of the pictures I have, you can see the lower headlug still has the yellow--before I removed it. Email me for more pictures if interested. $2000 shipped for frame/fork/hs. Here is a picture.

Second one is a very nice light blue with subtle panel on the seattube and headtube matches the panel. Lugs are stainless. Excellent condition. Includes frame pump painted to match. 55cm x 55cm c-c measurements. Reynolds 531 tubing. Takes nutted brake calipers and clamp cable stop where the downtube shifter bosses would be (no bosses). $1240 frame/fork/hs/pump shipped. Email for more pictures. Here is a picture:
