A very nice frame. I'd only buy it as a frame and fork,then a build in homage of
the period you most enjoy.
Cheers,
Pete.

That is a great looking bike! I agree with Pete, build the frame with vintage components, I would pick Campy NR. Funny to have braze ons for water bottles and so forth but then cable clamps on the top tube. Come to think of it, they have done retro bikes before. Check this Pinarello Banesto Indurain Tribute at sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/bik/5404743333.html. Only $1070 in American greenbacks. Jim  |

Understood, but I'm not sure the frame would warrant that level of investment Jim. I checked the Pinarello site and they said the tubing is "cro-mo". So nothing special. I'd only use the Campag NR on a frame that was made of at least 531 or decent Columbus. The 'group' they had on the bike I saw seemed appropriate interms of both aesthetic and cost. b

True, they say little about the tubing which makes it suspect. I wonder if it is butted? Pinarello describes the tubing as "ACCIAIO Cr-Mo" which is also found on most of the old Columbus Tubing Stickers (attached). Of course, good old Columbus SL is CroMoly tubing. Looking at a 2005 Columbus Steel Tubing catalog, I do not see any of their tubing being advertised as Acciaio Cr-Mo. FWIW, Acciaio just means steel, so Acciaio Cr-Mo just means CroMoly steel.
