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.

To all those craving Sun, I have just spent a week in Malta in the most glorious blue skies and blazing sun with temperatures every day exceeding 30deg C.
Now I am back where I live and cannot move from due to circumstances to long to explain here:
This is the bleakest, darkest, wettest valley in the whole of England leading me to contemplate riding a fixie off of a valley wall for an end to the gloom, doom and dark days.....For those wishing for Sun be assured that after five years of living here this is one of the darkest places I have lived and I love the sun,
Yours, already missing sunshine.....

Hi All,
Need to make three post replies before I can post an Ad myself.
I am a Cytech Qualified mechanic recently introduced to Fixed Gear Cycling. I now have two fixed gear cycles and am looking to sell one of them that I recently built.I live in the North but will be coming down to London tomorrow with a lovely resprayed flip-flop cycle fully built up from an 80's Pinarello Frame with Campag components.
More detail when I create the Ad
BE WELL
:-)
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
