Colin Laing 50th Anniversary Frameset, Columbus Max 56cm

Description

Not many frame builders reach their 50th anniversary of frame building.  Colin began as an apprentice for the Taylor brothers in the 30's.  He took a long break during WWII, it's said he used to carry a bike with him strapped to the tank.  In 1951/52 He started building frames in earnest.  He has built countless frames for countless professionals over the years.
This bike is called the Golden Jubilee.  It was built in 2001/2002 and is his 50th anniversary frameset.
Built with Columbus Max tubing.  This frame is a 56 cm square (TT and ST)  Headtube measures 137
This is a very rare frameset indeed.  Colin intended to build 100 of these anniversary bikes, but due to his health he was unable to.  Only a couple of them were ever built.
The condition on this bike is very good.  It has a few small scratches and a rub mark on the inside of the chainstay.
The 1" Columbus Muscle fork is the original that came with this frame.  This frame was ridden by a local pro for about a year before being hung up on display.  It has low miles and it shows.
