Hello all!
I just pulled a trigger on a used bike from my local classifieds. It was reasonably priced, for what it seems, and from a reputable seller so I bought it without inspecting.
The seller can't identify the brand since decals are either missing or too scratched away so I'm trying to get as much information about the bike through community help.
This is what I know about the bike:
Can you ID the bike or tell something more about it?
The frame seems partially (?) lugged with ample tire clearance and fairly modern components. This is weird since my local used market is usually either old cottered ten-speeders, old Peugeots, run-down supermarket bikes and such or high-end modern bikes currently en vogue. None have lugged construction with ample tire clearance. Surly bikes or Rivendells or Velo Oranges are absolutely unheard of in my area. Besides, this was waaay cheaper than something like that.

This is what I know about the bike:
- clearly visible Columbus Thron decal on a frame
- Shimano Deore LX groupset
- Mavic wheelset with Schwalbe Marathon Plus 650b × 47 mm tires
- Race Face handlebar
- Hollowtech bottom bracket
- dynamo hub
