stewie911 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Thinking of buying this eddie merckx columbus for R1000. Has shimano exage brakes and 105 components and suntour supebe Pro cranks. Seems to be late '70s or early '80s. What do you guys think? Will I be able to do something with it? In the end I want to ride the bike and not display. Maybe some training or around town.

javadude Posted August 25, 2010 Share This is how they did Alu in the early eighties. The term rides like a noodle came from this design. Cant believe Alan Van Heerden actually raced one of these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
