Pinarello from way back

[michel2]

Back in the day i wanted a telekom bike, i even asked friends to see if mister godetroot had one for sale in my size at the end of the season, he did but my bike mechanic wage could not afford that.
Then on a saterday night not that long ago i was bored and typed in those two magic words on the ebay search engine, normally tha brngs anuthing from jersey's to coasters, this time it listed a prince sl in my most favorite colour and in the very right size !
The price ws more then right, even the buy now option was very reasonable however i wanted to make sure i didnt act and regret, so since the auction was ending the next day i figured i would wait until sunday.i put in one bid and bought the bike!

Congratulations! Looking good already

The seatpost is not from that time period
Which one would be the "correct" one?

[michel2]

They did run a pina post but in 29.4, i just bought this post in 27.2 with a shim for the time being.
Did i mention i have a 'correct' 10 group waiting to be mounted ?
I just have to find out what pina used for cable stops on the downtube ? Its has threated holes, rivnuts like the ones for a botle cage but not support for your traditional shimano or campy cable stop..

You're building one of my childhood dream bikes.

[NilesCrane]

Looking forward to see the completed build!

[ghisallo2003]

Drop me a note if you want some screw in cable stops for campag. Just sitting in a box.

[majklnajt]

Dont worry about the seatpost... did not mean it bad
It looks wondeful!

Congrats on the correct groupset also!

[Willier]

Firstly, congrats on the purchase. Looks like new

Secondly, when I see this frame, my first association is Rolf Aldag riding it

p.s. Micky, one of my childhood dream bikes is also Prince SL, but in Fassa Bortolo colours

[michel2]

oooh baby, this is a nice departure from the normal postings we get around here - always liked those old time pinnys.

[michel2]

After picking up the last bits and pieces this morning, I finally started wrenching,Marcus miller on the back ground, i have get some better cable stops and bolts, i do have other concerns about the frame but so far im loving it, can't wait to take her for a spin !
The shop i went to this morning had a set of lightly used lightweights, just like 'der jan' used to have, they would look so good !(;

For your enjoyment (;

[tigoose]

Excellent bike

[kgt]

Yes, go for it! LW is all this frame needs.
