1984 XXL BMZ Performance Campione Columbus SP 65cm CTC
OK, I picked up this big one for all of its Super Record parts. Frame is clearly way too big for me, so I need to move it to a new home. Chrome is shiny and bright. Top tube has some paint loss and surface rust. Not a wall hanger, but no dents or dings that I can see. Campy drop outs, Columbus SP tubing.
With such a big frame, packing will be challenging. Not sure I can get it inside a 108 inch box.
$125 plus $20 to pack plus Bikeflights. Use 25x8x42, 20 pounds to check on shipping estimates. Again, this assumes I can fit it in a 108 box. Until I pack it I will not be sure. I have fit a 63cm frame inside a 108 inch box. Basically, it takes cutting a standard bike box in half to make a narrower box. Its quite a chore to pack.
Local pickup? I'll give you a discount. Click through to my Flickr page and I have several more pictures.

Yeah we tall guys sort of suffer in the vintage bike shipping world.
It’s worth it: we also get to hit our heads on things and order custom jackets and shirts.

Last call then I donate it.
Will consider in person trades (I don't need any wheels or frames).

The red one in the ad photo looks like a twin to my Palo Alto, and didn't I read BMZ made those as well? If your frame rides like my PA, well, I've had no complaints. Hope you find a home for it!
The only person I know that it might fit, sadly, "went carbon".

I Googled BMZ and didn't come up with anything, who was the maker? Full disclosure, I'm way to short for this one, I'm just trying to learn something
