Have you got a Pinarello? Put it here. Mine is an Asolo, bought off this very same forum (in a bike purchasing frenzy) and sat untouched in my shed for 3 years, before deciding that I really ought to replace the chain, sort out the brakes and repair the rear mech. So almost 3 years to the day, I took it to France and cycled up Mont Ventoux with it. In a nod to Giovanni Battaglin, I kept the triple - or maybe it's because I'm too fat to get up Ventoux without it! It's a beautiful, comfortable ride - although it still needs the wheels to be trued. Nevertheless, it received admiring glances in France and for a maiden ride (ooh err) couldn't be bettered - oh to be back in the Gorges de la Nesque.
