Pinarello is a name that has been associated with recent success in cycling, first with Sky and now INEOS but It is easy to forget over 20 years later that Pinarello had been at front of the pro peloton throughout the 1990s as well. From 1991 to 1997, a Pinarello was ridden to the Maillot Jaune on the Champs Elysees thanks to Miguel Induráin, Bjarne Riis and the only ever German winner, Jan Ullrich. Pinarello is of course, one of Italy’s most famous builders setting up shop in Treviso, near Campagnolo’s hometown of Vicenza in 1953. A pro cyclist in the late 1940s and early 1950s Giovanni Pinarello was a teammate of Louison Bobet, during his famous Milan-Sanremo win in 1951 and after stopping he started sponsoring pro teams as early as 1957. This Opera model is built using Dedacciai EOM 16.5 triple butted tubing with an’Aria’ Carbon Fork and CRS’Carbon Rear System’ rear stays. The profile of the tubes gives a wonderful ride quality, somehow softer and yet more responsive than aluminium, close to a full carbon frame, but with a little less resonance. The paint is in excellent condition with only a few very minor marks and the odd paint chip. The frame is tig welded featuring lovely engravings on the dropouts and elegant squarely profiled chain stays around the bottom bracket. There are some minor paint chips at the lop of the seat lug, where the carbon seat post is installed, and this has a few minor insertion marks, but these aren’t visible. The carbon forks are in wonderful condition along with the rear end. The Campagnolo Record drivetrain is in fantastic condition, again with excellent bright aluminium and clean carbon materials presented in excellent shape. The brakes work exceptional well and it shifts through all gears with pleasure, using those lovely carbon shifters with new hoods. There is a tiny amount of delamination on the right shifter lever, down the outside, but they are still amongst the best used ones I’ve seen! Fresh BBB bike ribbon black tape is also installed so it is ready to ride and it will make a new owner very happy, just make sure it is you! Seat Tube (C to T). Top Tube (C to C).

All parts are cleaned, inspected and fully described in the listings. Sometimes items with internal bearings such as pedals or hubs may need a service if we haven’t got around to doing this before listing, but we will always reflect this information, and make it clear in the listing. We aim to offer a bicycle part that is ready to fit and enjoy, so frequently, disassemble, clean, re-grease and reassemble, to make sure everything is in full working order. Please be aware that complete bikes will need some assembly once you receive them. The pedals, stem and handlebars will need refitting, along with the seat post, saddle and both wheels. If there are mudguards or racks included these will also need to be put back, but there will be nothing that requires any specialist tools and if you are in doubt, we are happy to advise, help or point in the direction of a local shop.
