Columbus Beater

Bought this bike while being out of riding due to a surgery in early 2022. Wanted it only for the frame to build a 1x commuter, but started liking singlespeed while recovering. Since then, the front wheel got fucked, threw in a campy hoop, replaced the brakes with 1055 calipers, went through multiple saddles, rode it with a 7400 crankset for a long time and replaced the decomposing hoods with cotton tape.
