MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

Pinarello Paris frame is definitively aluminum though (with a steel fork).

But mine remains in steel

What kind of tubing does it say on the Columbus sticker?

What colour is it really? That beige is a lot nicer than the babyshit brown in the other picture

The set of stickers is not original because I have been looking for news about the model for more than a year but have not found anything.

What Tijs said.

It's mustard brown.

Could be a mixed tubeset. Maybe Columbus Ego ...

The frame is signed everywhere

They used Oria and Dedacciai tubing in the 90s. The seat cluster reminds me of this.

You're right, I was thinking of Olmo

The real question is: Why on earth did you paint it brown?

I like it. Just not a fan of matchy painted stems though ever.
Black stem and get rid of that weird spacer setup and that’s a pretty nice turd coloured bike.

Edit: silver stem, black bar tape.

Rep for the no fucks given sora too.

I don’t mind it, Got interesting tubes for a steel frameset imo. Would also go for the more boring options of black (quill or steel ahead if you must) stem, black seatpost, all black tyres, black bar tape.

Maybe there’s a nice cable colour that you could maybe pair with the mushroomy brown of the frame.

Do what you want though, only gotta please yourself (obviously) ;-)

This looks like it could be a Dario Pegoretti built Pinarello. Definitely steel - possibly Columbus Max tubing. Lots of similar qualities to a Pinarello Maxim, but yours could be custom made with a different down tube. In which case this would be a 1993 model - usually adorned with Campagnolo Record and the likes

Either way it is certainly very rare so take good care of it :)

Not mine, but this is nice

^ Very tasty indeed.

It crossed my mind when I saw that cluster on a Banesto bike. What would the DT and TT be though? They're massive for the era, possibly the Oria found on the TT bikes? I can't tell if the profile is the same.

I love the way this has gone from 'what the hell is that?' to 'it could well be a peg!'

The world is topsy-turvy right now.

We're about to prove, you can indeed polish a turd.

what's the opposite of polishing a turd?

^ Bangin' Saeco that. I need a stem ID though.

Edit

Also, a saddle ID as it turns out.

Black on black zipp
