PINARELLO Montello SPX Cromovelato, Campagnolo C-Record Cobalto, 58cm (1986-87)

Giovanni Pinarello was born in Catena di Villorba, Italy in 1922. He was the eighth of 12 brothers. At the age of fifteen, Giovanni began making bicycles at the factory of Paglianti. After a successful amateur career he turned professional in 1947. After his carrer, in 1952 he founded Cicli Pinarello S.p.A. in Treviso, Italy.

The Pinarello Montello was a landmark model for Pinarello and is for sure one of the best racing machine which ever left Giovanni Pinarello’s factory in Treviso, Italy. The  ”Montello” was their top model in years 1984-’88 and basically the  frame with which Pinarello started to dominate on cycling races around the globe. In mid 1980s Montello achieved many important  victories such as the 1984 Olympics Road Race, Vuelta a España, the Giro d’Italia and stages of the Tour de France.

Superb frameset is made of high end Columbus SLX butted tubing with Pinarello’s special designed bottom bracket. It’s easy to detect beautiful ”GPT” engravings on the top of the fork crown and seat stay. Pinarello logo appeared in many locations  like lugs, seat clamp, front derailleur braze-on, bottom bracket and rear brake bridge.

Proudly presenting this superb racing machine – Pinarello Montello Cromovelato, which dates back to 1986-87. The frame is work of art and was a reference by which other racing bikes were judge back in mid 1980s. Built with superb Campagnolo C Record groupset and iconic Cobalto brakes, pantograph Cinelli stem and handlebar, FIR clincher rims, San Marco Regal Girardi “snake skin” saddle. Love at first sight!

For all Pinarello lovers. Fair price
