Hello all,

I am selling a Grandis Special frame, fork, headset, and bottom bracket.

Specs: 50 cm center to top 48.5 cm center to center Frame is stamped 48 on bottom bracket 50 cm top tube Rear is 125 mm Takes a 27.2 seatpost This would be made of Columbus SL. Spirals in the steering column. One set of water bottle bosses on down tube Includes seat post binder bolt and d.o. adjusting screws - all in good condition

Headset is Omas alloy. 1"x24 BSC. Good condition. Could use some grease. Not super smooth but doesn't feel like there's any pitting in the races. I think grease and adjust and it'd be great. I'd ride it as is, myself.

Bottom bracket is Campagnolo (NR?). Smooth and looks to be in very good condition. 36x24F.

Condition: I don't want to fool anybody here. If you didn't care how it looked, then do a framesaver treatment, build it up and ride it.

It could really use a re-chrome and paint job to achieve its maximum potential. There are lots of chips and surface rust where those chips are. I don't believe it's anything more than surface rust. The chrome on the chainstays is in pretty good shape. The chrome on the fork crown has corroded away around the edges of the "G"s.

As far as I know, the frame is straight and true. I have not ridden it. No signs of dents, bends, etc.

Photos pretty much show the condition. http://gallery.me.com/idrew/100028

I'm asking $300 plus actual shipping. If that's too much, make me an offer. Thanks for looking.
