SOLD, I'd like to do a local sale on Front Range of Colorado (based in Boulder, but can meet in Denver or similar) as we just had a baby last week and I'd rather not take on the packing and shipping at this time.




S/N: 580DKW B91XXX. Per Waterford (https://waterfordbikes.com/w/culture...amount-dating/) I understand this to mean: 580 – 58cm frame; D – Indicating a longer fork length (range from A-E)?; K – Built for Paramount; W – From the Waterford factory in Wisconsin; B – February; 91 – 1991; XXX – XXX frame scheduled during that month.

No dents I can find, but the bike lived some of its second life as a racy commuter and the paint shows wear and tear from outdoor racks etc. There are quite a few chips (most significant on the NDS downtube) and previous touchups. I considered stripping or blasting and repainting, but there is still quite a bit of the lovely original Intense Red there and figured I would leave it to the new owner to decide. Accordingly, all tubes were just treated internally (and a couple of spots externally) with Evaporust and I’ve also applied Framesaver internally. I've tried to capture this in the pictures, but let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see. I think given the diameter of the tubing (25.6ish top tube/28.8ish down tube including paint), frame size and absence of rifling it is the Columbus SL/SP mix. There is no original tubing decal in sight, but the steerer tube is stamped with the Columbus logo.

New tires, tubes, cables, housing, chain, bar tape.

Bump and price reduction.

Im thinking about flying to Denver, buying and riding as much as possible, and then packing and shipping back to my stable

67Carlton

You're welcome anytime. Spring has sprung and the riding is fine any day there's not a wildfire burning :-)

joesch

Surprised its still available. Great deal and classic frame.

WOW! That’s one heck of a deal!

I would have thought that a 91 would have had a tri-color group, but since these were primarily sold as framesets, who knows.
GLWTS.
Cheers,

Bump and price drop, it's been declared we need the room for the stroller!

joesch

Why not give a price including shipping and use a LBS to do all the work. Probably only an additional $150 so still would be a great deal for somebody not local.

Also this is Eroica CA weekend so lots of N+1'ers are being heroic and away from home

Congrats on the new edition !

67Carlton

Thanks, we're excited/exhausted! I'll call around to a few shops and see what they might want to pack/ship.

Summertime bump for this still available steed.

joesch

Some LBS will even sell on consignment and you can get more than $350 and get it out of your home. Will sit there until it sells. The LBS in may area sell lots of nice classics this way. That is a great deal and ride!

m.c. 

bikeflights will probably have a shop in your area that does the packing and UPS will pick it up from them. I had a frame shipped to me this way recently and it all went smoothly.
