Vintage 1990s Cavallo Marino Italian Columbus Genius steel frame set


Cavallo Marino Columbus Genius frame set in Excellent / used condition.
Made from Columbus Genius Italian steel tubing and the forks and rear stays are chrome plated.
The front and rear dropouts are both stamped 'COLUMBUS' and the frame features internal brake cable routing through the top tube.
