Columbus Aelle-framed Olagnero with a flat bar conversion

[Gunk]

That's my thinking. I've got a pair of very nice Campagnolo 7 speed wheels currently on my Raleigh Pioneer - - which would fit well here.

I've started on the chrome and it's not as bad as the photos make it appear. Just need some retro drop bars, brake levers and downtube shifters.

I’ve got a set of bars and a stem if you want them

I've picked up today locally a Columbus Aelle town bike (conversion?) which is an unknown make. It's got Shimano Exage / early 105 components and I'm guessing was originally drop-bar but now has flat bars and a different seatpost/saddle.

Any thoughts as to what this might be? The frame number under the bottom bracket has 'A-53' and there's an Ambrosio sticker on the seat-tube near the front derailleur.

There's quite a bit of rust and some of the chrome's lifted. Also the top bit's been re-sprayed at some point, if not the whole bike.

Got one as well
