Bike now being split - see price list below
Frame and forks - SOLD PENDING COLLECTION
Pinarello Prologo frame circa 1987. Columbus Cromor Tubing in metallic turquoise blue and white, with chrome forks.
Seat Tube C-T: 57cm; Top Tube C-C: 52cm; Rear Dropouts: 126mm; Seat Post: 27.2mm
With Royce bb and specialized headset - offers based on £350. I have several people interested at that price; along with the Royce as described it's worth £400 and more. I'll take £350 if no-one wants to move on that and then it's about people who dibbed etc.; if you think it's a good price at the moment and it's a frame you're mad keen on then make me an offer to secure it, for once it's all about selling quickly and smoothly as I'm broke and Christmas is coming. You can see the quality and condition from the photos and it's even nicer than this when you're looking at it properly. A very special frameset.

Frame
The paintwork and chrome is all in fantastic condition, with just one or two small chips and slight wear to the downtube decals. The blues in the photos don't really do justice to how exquisite the turquoise of the frame looks; the paintwork is among the best I've ever seen and the chrome is excellent. Along with it you get all the Pinarello stamps on the forks, seat cluster, stays, bb shell... even the seatpost binder bolt is the original Pinarello one.
Because of the sizing and going on the couple of friends who have tried it out I would say it's perfect for people between 5'5'' and 5'9''. According to those who have tried it out it rides like a dream.
I spent three months getting this together then riding it out once and knowing there was no way I fitted it.. you can imagine my disappointment. It was built with care - the chainline and chain tension (thanks to the slight play in the dropouts) are near perfect and the gearing is nice at 47/18. As you can see there's plenty of stuff on it for the sale that is brand new unridden; the wheels have also been serviced in the last couple of weeks.
I'm looking for £650 for the complete bike. The frame is beautiful and rare and the spec is pretty good. I'll be willing to split the bike if there's no interest in it but priority goes to people interested in the bike. I won't post - this is a bike worth taking a train ride for maybe.. so London collection only.
Please contact me by pm if you're seriously interested in the bike. I won't be responding to enquiries about individual parts until I have confirmed there's no interest in the complete build.
Cheers!
