Yeah it's Columbus SL Fossyant, My bike was a Bob Jackson when I found this so I just got it fixed up and transfered all the bits and pieces over. Ive probably had it around 15 years now, cant remember exactly how long but some time soon after 1998 anyway, It was blue with chrome front and back ends originally, got some nice lugs and other features...Herety was indeed a craftsman second to no-one,
Now I just gave it a bit of a refresh I need to get myself back into it I'm way out of shape and been invited on a cycling break to Spain in May

What number is it. Mine is 141. Chrome folks and back end with a metallic white and blue fade. Had it built for me in 1989-90

 

[Gatters]

dont know what the number is fossy, cant read it following the re-paint it had many years ago, wish I'd noted it down but at the time it never occured to me to do so

The number will also be stamped on the steerer tube but you won't find it unless you undid the headset.

Got a couple steel bikes. First one a Fuji Feather:

Second one I have no idea what kind it is, but love it.. it came with a bunch of stickers on it, but the one I left just says "Windsor Jones".. no idea why but keeping it as I find it hilarious.. I just tell people it's a Windsor Jones frame.

This is the start of a very beautiful relationship. This really doesn't feel like it's over 12kg. I have no idea why it's so quick (getting many an inexplicable pb on it) or so fun but I just love it! It's an absolute joy to ride and I do fear it may render my 'good bike' useless. Makes me realise weight is not everything!

Got it for an absolute steal too from ebay, bloke bought it for his son and the son didn't want it (eh?!) I had originally planned to get the rosso red 2015 model but when this came up in my size I couldn't say no. It was absolutely pristine on arrival, still had the protective frame stickers on!

Sorry it's modern steel but this is my first, and certainly not my last!

My first bike... since a Viking something or other when I was a teenager in the early '80s.
I love it, I'm using it to commute and do extra miles at the weekend. I can't wait until the conditions get better and I can get the mudguards off so it looks like that again.
I liked the 2014 one so much I asked the LBS to source me one instead of the 2015 which was the model they were selling. It's something about the black and brown together.

Birthday present from my wife back in January, lucky me 1977 Peugeot PRN10E - Now up and running following a few replacement parts from Belgium and the USA. Rides like a dream, though brakes were clearly a bit cr*p back in the 70's !! After a few weekends riding this I jumped back on a modern bike and first time I pulled the brakes nearly flew over the handle bars, LOL!
