Pinarello Restored

Just finished restoring this Pinarello 

frame set for a friend, came out pretty nicely.

 I was a bit worried about the metallic

grey, but was surprised in how well it carried the 

chrome lugs, quite subtle.

I was also worried that the black key line on the 

main decals would get a little lost, but again was

pleasantly surprised to see that they worked well.

Although, I did lighten up the grey quite a bit. from

what was originally intended.

 

FLOWERS AND BIKES

Yet another reason why I like tubs..

A good way to get wild flowers home to 

your honey in reasonable condition.

Lots of pretty flowers ready for picking out
there this time of year...

1970's PINARELLO CATALOG

 Early mid seventies Pinarello catalog.

 And here I was, thinking they only came out in Red..

Here is my one, taken on yesterday's 

Sunday ride

PINARELLO STREET STOCK BEATER

I picked this Pinarello cheap a while back, it was in pretty good nick, but it had a very boring groupset on it which was promptly stripped off.

I used it occasionally, but wasn't really that enthusiastic about it, until I got this wheel set for 40 bucks off trade me, yeh.I knew I had found just the right wheel set for the Pinarello,so with a head of steam up, I painted the front and rear forks with a rattle can, threw a bit a of pin stripping/skull on the forks and Wha La my very own street beater

Sprayed some Hoosier stencils on the rims to add a bit of seventies street stock style

 Love that SR royal chainset, Brooks professional of course, what other saddle is there?
