Old School Hero
Bought this a few months ago of ebay to keep my fitness up over winter without getting muddy! I believe its a 1996 Pinarello Asolo made from Dedacciai dolmen tubes with a full Shimano 600 groupset. I've included a shot of the frame number so if anyone knows the exact year that'd be good.
Since buying it somehow I've been roped into doing L'etape so I was thinking I'd have to sell it and get something "proper" However having ridden it for 500 odd miles it is
very comfortable
perfect size
handles beautifully
so now thinking I might 10 speed it and ride it in L'etape! Question is do I do the right thing and get a nice silver campag gruppo (probably 10 speed veloce) or stick with shimano which I prefer! The Ultegra SL levers grey seems to be the same grey as on the 600 so they would be an obvious match. Compact shimano chainset aint gonna look too nice on it though, certainly not as nice a campag.
If I do keep it I'm gonna have to get mudguards on it and use it to train as well :shock: -but bikes are for riding right.
