bought this Pinarello Montello as a frameset only from a well known dutch collector,
I mentioned it would be nice to have a Pinarello in my stable of classic road bikes in my framesize
(as I did not have one, just a 52 and a 56 size frame that I sold due to being unable to ride them)
my collector friend then said just like that 'Oh..I happpen to have a SLX tubed Montello that I am willing to sell to you as I am shrinking my collection somewhat'
On top of that it was also in one of the most beautiful colors I ever saw on a Pinarello...
a mix between dark and bright red metallic with untouched paintwork/transfers and very good chrome forks, could not believe my luck!
Built the frame up over a period of 2 months with parts that I came across and went for a first ride yesterday.
(rather appropriate; Wiggins won the tour on a Pinarello yesterday so could not have chosen a better day!)
It's a beautiful ride, very responsive and quick,a good weather only bike this will be;-)
