Are those omega v's?

MAVIC Open 4 CD with Conti Grand Prix 700x20

Spacers and downward sloping stem?!? That just looks wrong.

I'm guessing road use?

Better of 2 evils IMO. Rising stem is proppa fug.

This

yeah welcome to the pinarello club graham. looks pretty good mate.

That Pinarello looks tidy.

Needs a new silver alloy seatpost, hoods lifting up a few cm, pedals, possibly new bars

Details.

Details.
loverly bike.

Shimano 600 post or panto'ed Pinarello(hen's teeth I know), possibly a Campy aero

The bars are ergos so might try and gets something more in keeping, fancy some cloth tape too - hoods/levers need moving up a cm or two

They have Biopace 53/42 rings on at the mo. While they're OK, they just look a bit odd. I sourced some new rings but I got a 52(thought it came with a 52 - d'oh!) and a 42. So if anyone has a spare 53 kickin about....although I might just whack the 52 on anyway

Needs a bottle cage and pedals too - not sure which pedals yet

Just finding the right height for the stem at the moment. I liked the Cinelli Pista bars and had to have the stem to match (OCD/attention to detail, whatever you want to call it)

Do you need bio space again i have 53 ultergra chain ring with a 42 matching i think
not bio though

Makes rollers harder; spinning on 100" is ridiculously light compared with this. Other roller-specific choices are 36 spokes front and rear for the aerodynamic drag and Rigida Sputnik rim (700g) on the back and Zac 19 on the front for the inertia

oh just to be clear i meant staying upright. rollers feel wobbly to me. Really i've only spent about 10 minutes on them in my life so i don't know what i'm talking about.

I would recommend aero/flat spokes with wrong orientation.
Or a piece of carpet between the rollers.
Low tyre pressure
2 stones under the supports in the front to give the whole an inclination
Someone pulling your saddle
Man, be creative!

good effort!! try to be more subtle next time tho... ;-)

Something that has just made my nuts tingle

?

Mate, I'm looking to get rid of the biopace so how much do you want for the ring, just the 53t though, I have a 42t

Needs a new silver alloy seatpost, hoods lifting up a few cm, pedals, possibly new bars and in time a new set of chainrings

i'm laying down too many posts, but this bike is too classy to avoid... I would love to put some miles in on this one.

Really i like the black post. I think it helps the ergo bars match the bike. Othersize the bars would look out of place. I also like the black tape. Some tires with black sidewalls would take it even further in this wonderful direction. I wouldn't touch a thing, excpet for sorting out the position of the hoods and such.

Sweet and Sour that Pinarello is a juicy fest!

Graham, I love your Pinarello, it look like a great ride.

Pisti - Shimano and Campag on the same bike? Get yo' shit together, man! :)

I'll get some better pics up once complete

There's no campag on it. The Campag seatpost idea is just a last resort if I can't get a 600 or panto'd Pinarello

You should check out either TFG or BLB, they should have some shimano fluted seatpost to replaced the push one you have.

I'm going to check my father's bike because i think he have a Shimano 600 seatpost, not keeping in theme with the campag groupset.

Yay my bike works again, with a sightly less dodgy chainline than before!

It's a ZOOM on there at the mo

Nice one mate, if you do wanna get rid of the 600 seatpost let me know

FFS, I just got rid of a really nice 600 seatpost that would of looked good on the Pinarello...

If you can't get a 600 or pantographed Pinarello seatpost then you ain't trying hard enough. Apply yo'self. :)
