Very interesting. It could be a Pinarello Ceramicall 100 possibly. Produced in 1994 only - ceramic aluminium tubing. Very light. Otherwise it might be a Keral-Lite - produced in 1996 only by memory, and used by Telekom to win TdF that year. How did you determine the tubing type - is there a...

Here it is - very original apart from seatpost. I am presently in contact with a possible connection to the team at the time to see if we can determine which rider it belonged to. Based on geometry I am guessing Giovanni Lombardi who rode the TdF that year. It is a Paris model, with distinctive...

Hi there Oria were supplying tubes to Pinarello for some of their range. Pinarello painted the frames welded by Dario, and applied the finishing decals - including the Oria tubing ones. Dario's preferred tubing was Excell which was lighter and stiffer. I have wondered why the team bikes no...

Hi Sorry for not responding sooner. I've become a bit more focussed on researching Dario's work in recent times and, whilst nothing is definitive in Dario's World, my current thoughts are as follows: Dario built the TIG welded Pinarello frames used by Banesto, Telekom and a couple of other...

Brilliant - the 1994 season bikes were the only year with the chrome band where the FD clamps on to my knowledge so yes, definitely fits the bill. Well done.

When I visited Dario in 2018 his routine was welding in the morning and painting the Ciavete schemes in the afternoon. It was pretty evident that the workshop was working like a well-oiled machine with systems and materials all worked out. There were others painting and mitring while I was there...

Looks great Toby - always loved the chrome finish although a few less Pina decals on the frame would improve things even further. Do you know if Dario made all of the Pinarello Radius bikes, or just some? If there is clear evidence that he authored all of them I will have to put one on my...

Re: Great Bike - hang onto it. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since my last post. I visited Dario and interviewed him regarding the Banesto bikes I am now the proud owner of the team bike ridden by Banesto rider JF Bernard in the 1994 TdF which Dario validated and signed. I was...

Re: Very glad to report that we have been successful in getting one of the two bikes required. It was one of Phil's actual team bikes which was located in Europe - obtained earlier this year and presently now being restored/preserved. Now just after the second one.

Re: Cantacted Tacx - not one of theirs. They suggested Elite - giving that a go

Hi Last parts needed for my team replica job. The year is 1999/2000 - Credit Agricole team Look KG281. Initially I thought they were Zefal but they have a distinctive cross piece at the top of the black plastic. Sorry about the obscure picture. The team ran Tacx cages the following year - wasn't...

They are indeed - it was a moment in French bike making that produced some wonderful bikes. When Peugeot moved to a more Italian geometry and fitted those great 'best of French' components of the early 80's the result was fantastic. I have a Motobecane La Redoute team bike from same era -...

Re: Brilliant - thanks Will let you know how I go

I definitely have tormented myself looking at that bike - Exactly what I need! I have tried but cant access the contact details from where I am. Any chance you might have the contact details and be able to PM them to me?

Thanks Ray - was so surprised to get a reply I nearly fell off the chair. The bike - still there - it is in France. Unfortunately way too small and a bit earlier (some different frame details) I'm told by a Pug lover that it is probably a professional team bike as most of the Peugeot 753 frames...

Beautiful bike but be very careful - they do come apart and sometimes with no warning - especially this long after manufacture.

The bike looks great - the stem was a good match. The team bikes used the ITM400 stem in black so good pic. If it makes you feel any better about the Oria decals - many of the team bikes were made from other tubing even though some of the bikes wore Oria decals for sponsorship purposes. The...

Hello fellow retro fans I am embarking on a very challenging project to build not one but two replica’s of the bike ridden by Phil Anderson in the 1982 Tour De France – a Team Peugeot Pro10. One bike will be for an exhibition celebrating Phil’s time in the yellow jersey (first non-European to...

Re: Turns out our Spanish friend also has a good stock of Hutchinson Team Comp 700x19C tubulars - same issue as used by Festina in late 1990's - exactly what I needed - thanks for the heads up
