Vinnydabutcher Posted March 7, 2011 Share Hey Guys, My dad wanted to throw out my old road bike - 80`s Pinarello steel frame - downtube shifters - campy group set. My question is - do I respray the frame and fit STi`s or just clean it up and put on some new decals. Would anyone be interested in it? I`ll post some pics tomorrow.

Rubel Posted March 8, 2011 Share Hi guys I have built up two steel frame fixies which I love but now have the itch for a retro road bike. Do any of you guys have a project bike or fully restored bike that you would consider selling? I ride a 56cm frame. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeTurbo Posted March 8, 2011 Share oooh, bike crotch shots! Nothing wrong with that one, Vinny. Bit of polish and some elbow grease should bring her up nicely. I'm not into respraying myself; I like a bit of the character and history of the bike to come through. Each scratch and scrape has a story. It's like the classic cars I see - resrayed, new leather, etc - so overdone, there's nothing left of the original cxharacter. Overseas, restorations like that get big minus points.

nathrix Posted March 8, 2011 Share I would keep it original and just polish it up. Very naaice Vinny. Edited March 8, 2011 by nathrix™ ® Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dsan Posted March 9, 2011 Share Finally got the Eddy Merckx back from Cycle Art (really good job guys!). http://i53.tinypic.com/10ht2s8.jpg I've got a set of Campy Atlanta wheels and will end up with a Campy Pista crank. Still not sure on the bars though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javadude Posted March 9, 2011 Share Fantastic job Dsan. If you're going for a Pista look then a set of Cinelli Criteriums would look really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubel Posted March 9, 2011 Share Have any of you guys got a cool retro road bike that you would like to sell (56cm frame)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dsan Posted March 9, 2011 Share Yah I've pondered with the Cinelli's, they do look the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
