For Sale: Pinarello Fixie - Campagnolo Parts

This Cycle was originally a Pinarello Road Bike from the 80s, very lightweight. 531 Steel Frame

It has been completely stripped down and rebuilt by a Cytech Qualified Mechanic (myself). This included removing seized seatpost and rethreading the Bottom Bracket shell. Re-greasing all moving parts and replacing all bearings.

The frame has been cleaned and painted professionally in Metallic black with a white front fork. Unfortunately the painters painted over the head tube badge.

The seatpost, headset, bottom bracket, cranks, chainrings, pedals, seatpost are all original Campagnolo and have all been fully serviced.

I have left the Campag Shifters on the bike as "Ghost Shifters" (LOL)

The bike rides beautifully and has a set of deep rimmed wheels that were purchased on EBay and have attached a 16 tooth fixed cog at rear. Although the cycle runs flip flop the freewheel is for single speed chain and so will not fit the current drive-train.
The wheels are on unbranded hubs that run very smooth with sealed cartridge bearings and overall build quality of the wheels are excellent. The hub axles are bolt-on front and rear which adds a little extra security.

Chain Ring is 42 Tooth Pinarello branded Campag

The saddle is a very lightweight Carve ProLight

The bars are Cinelli 3TTT

Lastly I have fixed a Shimano 531 Front brake as the original Campag brakes were too tired. This in turn is attached to a Gold Finger Lever.

Dimensions:
Will update with dimensions later as cannot find a tape measure right now but I think the frame is 52CM, fits me OK and I'm 5'9'' but really you need to sit on it and see.

Tyres:
Bontrager Hardcase Triple Puncture protection front, lots of wear left
Rear: Specialised Nimbus, will need replacing soon.

This is a bling bargain at £450 or as close to that sum as possible, I'm open to reasonable negotiation. The cycle is located in London close to the Oval and can be purchased from me up to Friday 10th August AM and after that it will be sold by a friend living in London.

I think you may be being a little too optimistic with the price.

wow. well that is something...

^ my reaction...

Hope springs eternal..

why does it have two chainrings?

If you think the price is too high then feel free to make me an offer,

Cheers

Because I left the larger one on as it clearly says Pinarello on it and personally I like the look. Also if you want to run it in a different ratio for track then you could

Poor Pinarello.

If you think the price is too high then feel free to make me an offer,

Cheers

I'm not going to make an offer as I don't want to buy it, but I'd recommend having a look at the kind of price that road bike conversions normally sell for on here.

A better idea might be to try and sell the frame as a road bike frame with the pantographed chainset to someone looking to build up a road bike.

In any case, being realistic and trying to save you from the ridicule that is bound to follow, I would suggest around £150 might be a more fitting price.

Wow £150, LOL

Time Spent on Project in excess of 20 hours
Wheels and Tyres £80
Paint Job £75
Seatpost £10
Brake Lever and cables etc £20
Bearings and Grease £5

Similar Frame on Ebay £100-200

Anyway that gives some sort of idea on what's gone on to it

Thanks for your thoughts though tommmmmmm
and my middle name is ridicule some days :-)

Good luck to you then

Thanks, I'm going to bang it on EBay Thursday night anyway so it'll go to a good home in 12 days or less; was just hoping to sell it down here whilst I was down and before I return to the barren North. Not a big fixie scene in the Pennines you know !!

Time is love. Love is priceless.

Do they charge extra for painting the head badge?

Err, No; they were just being dumb, I marked it off and said don't paint it but they dipped it without masking properly.

Needless to say I am not going to the same Northern Monkey Paint Shop again
:-)

i agree

Poor Pinarello.

So that's £290 so where did £450 come from?

Wow £150, LOL
