61cm Pinarello Dolomite 1986

Always dreamed of owning an 80s Pinarello and this cropped up on German eBay, cheap and my size, and came into existence the year I did. ST 61 CTC, 62.5 CTT; TT 58. ‘Italian ice’ paint and full chrome underneath. More to come…

Blimey!!

What's the plans for the build?

Hello fellow 86er, lovely frame!

I’m hoping to put it together with a mixture of some of my favourite Campagnolo creations from the 80s and 90s. Wheel-building this weekend - 8 speed Record hubs and Omega rims.

It’s coming together - wheels finished and C Record headset and Triomphe shifters on. Will hopefully finish building it this week

I went for 1st gen Chorus brakes rather than Deltas!

Looks classy! Nice colors.
In what way is it a dream to ride?

Looks beautiful . Lovely attention to detail .

The geometry feels great - fairly short wheelbase and I think the headtube angle is steeper than my other road bike - and it seems to be fast, maybe just because it’s my size. Got on it for the first time and it immediately felt right 🙂
