[size=150]Pinarello Sestriere[/size]
63cm seat tube
58cm Top Tube
I'm 6ft 3.5 inches tall.
Geometry available at: http://velospace.org/node/25768
She is now equipped (photos below) as follows below: several changes have been made from the Velospace pics.
I'm asking **£325 collected or £340 posted.....I'm in East London near Stratford **, as she's in great condition excepting a ding I put in the Top Tube whilst at a cashpoint machine. It's unsightly, but doesn't affect her handling or structure.
She's well equipped in terms of componentry.

History
I bought the frame, as new old stock, in June 2010 when I decided to go back to running at least one steel bike. She was built up with a Campagnolo Veloce groupset. I changed the crankset to a Shimano 105 compact after 7 months or so, as it is a lot stiffer than the Veloce Crankset, and I am a seriously powerful rider.
She is without doubt the best bike I have ever owned, and I've owned 17 so far in my life! Being steel, she's indestructible, and you can see for yourself that the paintwork is beautiful. There's a ding on the top tube, where muggins here stopped at a cashpoint and she fell against the corner of the wall. This happened in September 2011, but makes no difference to anything but close up aesthetics. As you can see, it look worse close-up than from a distance.
If I hadn't just bought a 1993 art decor Colnago Master Olympic frame and a Ridley Noah, I'd not be selling her!
I describe the experience of her, especially with the Scirocco wheelset on, as riding a fast travelling armchair. Uber comfortable, and she always turns heads.
She has a 63cm seat tube (centre to top) with a 58cm Top Tube (centre to centre). In May this year I upgraded brakeset to a Chorus set (new old stock) and the stem to a Thompson Elite S2 to match the seatpost, and put a brand new Campagnolo Scirocco CX wheelset on her, even though these pics show her with a Zonda wheelset on. Last month I put a set of brand new Look Keo Classic pedals on her.
This is what she looks like now. She has a clip on rear mudguard to be used on any days when you get caught in the rain.
She is available as is, minus saddle pack, computer mount and computer.
