Pinarello Treviso

[woodbutcher]

Whats the verdict on this Pinarello model. Apart from the (to me) unappealing colour scheme ?

Any chance of a full bike picture - I think the colour could look pretty good when seen as a whole.

Yeah but is Pinarello all "mouth and trousers" or are the bikes worthy of the hype and is the "Treviso" a good or average example ?
See lm getting picky in my old age (and l dunno if l could live with Acid Yellow) . I'm going to think it over and maybe bid him on it

Yes, looks cool when seen as a whole

It’s awful I will pm my address, send it to me & I will dispose of it safely, after a few test rides to gauge how the colour affects the general public.
Actually just buy the thing, it’s fantastic

Woodbutcher, go on, you know you want to, and I am more than happy to stand in after DRM and look after it for you.

Looks like a time share!

On the matter of what the bike is like: was there a "central" mass producer of Italian bike frames in the 80's?

I am doing up a Dancelli at the moment which has many cosmetic similarities to this Pinarello (and Colnago).

One day, @woodbutcher will announce that he's bought some ordinary run of the mill, gas-pipe steel bike, and everyone will be truly shocked.....

I think the opposite of a "central" producer of frames was the case . Hence you get all sorts of innovation and development of steel composition. On the other hand l bet there was a fair amount of "poaching" ideas and craftsmen between the manufacturers.

Nice. C.1991ish, with a partially upgrade geartrain?
