Want to own a piece of cycling history?

A snip at just under 50 grand!
According to the seller, the bike was built for Indurain's Banesto team when Pinarello returned as bike supplier in 1992.

It's an exquisite machine.

For that sort of price I'd expect them to fix the wonky frame and mismatched wheels.

Interesting cable routing

Does the smaller front wheel and sloping top tube make as though the bike is going downhill all the time, and so it will go faster?
Admittedly, my appreciation of physics is limited, but I'm 110% sure that'll be the answer.

That is fugly

I'd stick mudguards, rack, a Sturmey Hub and some drum brakes in it - much more usable

and only $1 for international shipping!

Funny, all the other stuff he's flogging is bits and pieces apart from a hideous gold-plated bike, the sort of gaudy nonsense that would be right up rocky's street.

With a longer fork and a 14" front wheel it would make a cool chopper. You'd need to change that Halfords saddle as well.

Sounds like my vasectomy......

...still cheaper than the alternative though

Make a good 'fixie' plus you could sell all those Campagnolo bits to get a few quid back.

You only notice that when the rear wheel overtakes the front one.
