The Pinarello Story (The short version). Giovanni Pinarello was born in Catena di Villorba, Italy in 1922. He was the eighth of 12 brothers. At the age of fifteen, Giovanni began making bicycles at the factory of Paglianti. After a successful amateur racing career he turned professional in 1947. After his racing career, in 1952 he founded Cicli Pinarello S. We are proudly presenting this iconic Italian racing machine a Pinarello Special, which dates back to Late 1960’s. Pinarello, was one the best frame building shops of the era. They used quality Columbus SL tubing, Campagnolo drop-outs and made to order Pinarello lugs with easily recognisable Pinarello logo and “GPT” (Giovanni Pinarello Treviso) engraving on the fork crown and seat stay caps. Fully built with Campagnolo Nuovo Record groupset, Cinelli stem and handlebar, 3TTT saddle, Nisi rims. It has new paint, Not a perfect paint job, there are 2 bumps, but the paint is solid and looks good. The chrome lugs dropouts and fork crown are in perfect condition. The campagnolo Nuovo Record equipment is in good used condition and works as it should. The Pinarello is not a project bike it’s finished and ready to be ridden. The bicycle has not been ridden sense the restoration was finished. A great catch for the Pinarello lovers. Ready to go for L’Eroica.
