I usually not too quick to say this about a pug, but thats actually pretty nice looking. Tight between rear wheel and post, never seen on a pug before.

Looking for a Campy record pista crankset (165 or 170) 144 BCD.

Have a pre 1965 set in very good condition to swap if anybody is interested.

Am sure they are quite sought after for the right project.

Just found out pre 1965 model Campy is 155 BCD and I dont have a chainring to suit.

Help..............please

wow, a steel Pinarello is breathtaking. This is an eternal classic. A great score and a keeper.

 

Just as a matter of interest: have you weighed it?

 

and if I may, I feel that chain has to come down by one, it looks frighteningly close

Thanx Tarboy, you're absolutely right 'bout the chain, will sort out 2morrow.

 

I've only done the unsophisticated weighting thing (me on the b-room scale and me +frameset). Frameset+BB+headset approx 2.8kg

I had a Team Telekom steel track Pinarello...loved that bike. I regret having parted with it! Thats a nice looking track bike Slowtwitch!

 

I remember drooling at the SA Champs in Durban in 1990 when Anton Vermaerke rode his Pinarello 'Prologo' complete with Mavic Comete disc to victory in the pursuit...man that was a bike.

Here's my latest creation...20090906_092044_DSC01243.JPG

 

I kinda like it, kinda odd and antique looking in this photo yet nicely trimmed. Maybe its that irony that makes it neat. Did notice the aero seat post.

Does anyone on here have a road frame with horizontal dropouts for me?

 

One catch though, it has to be really small.... like traditional 46, 47 or 48cm centre to top???

 

Or, do u know anyone who might have?  I'm desperate!
