Ok,,,,,yes I know...I did say I had to downsize.....but....man.....how do you resist this?
This one has languished locally for over a year now. Took a day off last Tuesday to get a lot of riding in and then for some reason I wound up reaching out to the seller on this. Went to see it and man was it in great shape and the seller was the original owner with a true "steel is real" passion. He took it down off the storage hook and dusted it off while I was there. It was beautiful and truly ready to go, serviced up, etc. He had some other beautiful rides too.
Anyway, so this is a mid 90's Monviso with a full Dura Ace 7700 build, Chris King headset, Thomson seatpost, Mavic Open Pro (28f/32r) rims laced to beautiful Dura Ace Hubs. Hardly a mark on the frame or the components, wheels true and buttery smooth, etc. Took it home, gave it a quick look over, lubed the chain, adjusted the saddle, and headed out for my fastest average paced ride of the year. 25 miles on the first test and I had already did a 30 miler earlier that day. Hadn't eaten between rides but this wonderful Pinarello just kept wanting to go. It's only running 700 x 23 tires vs my usual 700 x 25 but still felt smooth and comfortable on the rough chipseal. Mechanically, everything functioned perfectly.
