The assembly
In this case we did not start from a complete bike, but from the frame alone, which had several smears and the serigraphs were damaged. Completely repainted (including fork) and serigraphs replicated, it is now in like new condition. The Pinarello emblem (on the head tube) was deliberately left as it is to testify to its actual past. Assembled with respectable components and with attention to the smallest details as shown in the photos.
The Restoration

The result
Although this frame was born as a racing frame, the peculiarity of the handlebar adopted makes it sporty and versatile at the same time. Dedicated to that circle of people who, even if they love sportsmanship and / or speed, can enjoy it in a more comfortable posture.
