Hi,

Im looking for a pair of silver columbus genius forks, please let me know if anyone has got a pair they'd like to sell, or knows anyone who does.

Cheers,
Rob

Update: forks match the frame (artwork) but are not Rossin, I don't know what brand they are, but willing to offer a discount based on this. You can replace the forks with columbus genius forks for around £120 or, if you're lucky, a rossin front fork, but I think these are hard to find. So I'm willing to accept offers on this frame.

Could also fit a carbon front fork, columbus make some excellent and well priced carbon forks (columbus tusk) that are listed for £60 on ebay

sold

Thanks guys, yeah it's a sweet frame! Happy to split frame and forks if anyone is interested.

Forks themselves are worth a few bob..

As you can see the frame and forks are in great condition with only a few minor scuffs.

Columbus Theramcrom was a high end heat treated steel alloy tubeset that offered all the ride benefits of steel with the lightness of aluminium. It's still as good today, and will make a lightweight, great looking, totally unique all day tourer or stylish urban commuter.

Framebuilding.com say the following about Thermacrom:
"Thermacrom can be considered to be a development of the nivacrom alloy and the ultra-fine structures resulting from the secondary precipitation of stable carbides. The aim is always to improve the mechanical benefits of the frames, maintaining a high coefficient of safety with even small thicknesses. The final weight is very close to that of the best aluminium frames. Thermacrom is a steel microalloyed with manganese, chrome, molybdenum and vanadium.

These elements produce a marked increase in temperability, a reduction in sensitivity to overheating (which ensures that a fine grain metal structure will be obtained after welding, more able to withstand fatigue stresses), better characteristics of strength and tenacity and better characteristics of resistance to corrosion and wear.

After mechanical deformation, working and drawing, Thermacrom undergoes heating and cooling cycles that give the steel its particular microstructure. The treatment, which only ends at the time of welding by the frame maker, enhances the mechanical characteristics of the material by giving it high breaking loads (1250-1450N/mm2) permitting completely safe reductions in thicknesses. Thermacrom is used for very top of the range frames that require the highest benefits."

I'm away at a wedding this weekend so haven't had a chance to list it. I'd accept £290 (posted) for frame and fork but can't go any lower than that. I could post on Monday.

Price drop to £300 but will consider offers, otherwise this is going onto the bay this weekend

Sold

could always put a carbon fork on it..

Thats a lovely looking bike.

I thought I was buying a complete frame, especially since the colour match is perfect and the artwork matches, however, based on this is seems this may not be the case. I cant find anything out about the bear/wolf logo, it's a mystery to me. I'm going to keep researching this, I think the origin of this frame is from the SAB team.

just uploaded a closeup of frame and fork artwork for anyone who's interested

Does anyone know anything about the bear/wolf logo? I know a fair bit about these bikes but this is beyond me.

It is a matching fork, this is an ex-team bike from SAB so whoever had the frame made would have specified certain parts that they liked. I will take closer photos of the fork and frame to show you how perfectly the colour and artwork matches.

This frame is pretty much in NOS condition, barely a scratch or dent on it. If you look at the photo of the same frame on BLB it has some large scratches on it and they are asking for £450.

Open to sensible offers, if not then I'll whack it on the bay and see what happens

I've been trying to work that out. All I know is that these are the forks that match the frame, and colours and artwork match up exactly.

I think it's a bear..
