I believe the frame is Columbus (Chromo Molibdeno) and I would describe the color as rich dark blue. There are significant scratches and dings from use, but the bike is in very good working condition and the flaws are superficial. The gears shift smoothly and the chains are in good condition.
The brakes and brake pads work well too. The tires hold air and the inner tubes have been replaced (the front tube very recently). Please reach out if you have any questions or need additional pictures. The bike is currently in Southern Connecticut, about one hour from NYC.
