uh-oh. Let me be the first to welcome you

Stopped reading when I got to the part about long hair. He's guilty of being a tjop. Didn't describe the hairstyle of the group so cant comment on their tjoppness as whole.

and that looks like a particularly nice Hansom frame; judging by the fastback cluster

Sars may be testing it for you first.

or, he hasn't got anything to build a bike.

Poetic. I'm glad that you are Ok, and I'm sorry for your loss.

wow, great looking bike. nice job.

Hats off to that guy.

Drop the stem please

you're funny

yes. well that makes it a bike from the 80s

Not a rebranded frame good sir. The "GP" engraved on the seat stay ends and the fork crown are the initials of Giovanni Pinarello. In addition that characteristic cut out on the lugs that has been filled with gold. It looks like a flying bird or like a 'clove'. Possibly even 70's

I would say it is simply " Pinarello Pista." Where did you get the notion of : "Bassano"?

That is a fantasmic bike. Thanks for the great spread. Gushed at each pic. What a great paint job. You need to request Pinarello 2 in white. Check the columbus stickers and the campione 1984 decal and the wreath above the seat post decal. I also agree with previous poster that Treviso only refers to the town of origin and not the model in this case. And yes this majestic bike is meant to run on tubs.

pics??

E-K : what saddle is that and what colour? Looks like a blue Rolls?

It's worth looking at again. Nice photograph

Always had a thing for the Bianchi's with the black tubes. Not many around. Real nice.

Its been on the brew, but the harsh finality has me devastated.
