1986 Pennine Italia
Hand built in Bradford England from Classic Reynolds 531 steel, this is a recently restored and sympathetically modernised retro race bike. The bike is in great condition.
Originally custom built for my father, before being passed on to me in the early 90's. The bike was in storage for many years, before being restored once I had rediscovered cycling a few years ago. The bike has covered less than 200 miles since a restoration that involved:
Full strip down, clean, rebuild of hubs, bottom bracket and headset, touch up frame, new Campagnolo cable set, replacement of down tube shifters with early Campagnolo record ergo shifters (rebuilt with new springs and hoods) modern pedals, new Charge saddle, new bar tape new tubes, tyres and wheel truing.
The component spec is as below:
Chainset - Campagnolo Victory 172.5mm 38/52 Chainrings
Rear Mech - Campagnolo Record Syncro II
Front Mech - Campagnolo Victory (band on)
Brakes - Campagnolo Victory (good original white pads)
Shifters - Campagnolo Record 8 speed Ergo shifters
Bottom Bracket - Campagnolo Victory
Headset - Campagnolo Victory
Seatpost - Campagnolo Record Aero
Freewheel - Mailard 7 speed 13-28
Hubs - Campagnolo Victory 36 hole
Rims - Mavic MA40 grey anodised 36 hole
Spokes - Stainless Double Butted
Cables - Campagnolo Ergopower (white)
Saddle - Charge Spoon (white)
Bars - Cinelli Giro D'Italia (fizik white)
Stem - Cinelli A1 70mm
Tyres - Continental Ultrasport 700c x 23mm
The frame geometry is:
Top tube length 55cm
Seat tube length 57.5
Head tube length 15.5
Chain stay length 40.5
Seat stay length 52cm
Axle to crown length 36.5cm
Head angle 73 degrees
Seat angle 73 degrees
This really is a lovely bike with super fast race geometry. In terms of faults there is a small dent on the top tube (handle bar strike), the paint is a powder coat and has been touched up where it has chipped (great colour match, tin included with bike), the seatpost has a few marks where it has been adjusted and there is some minor cosmetic corrosion on some of the chromed items (rim eyelets, seat post clamp).
If I can't find a buyer within a couple of week I will consider breaking it as there are some very sought after components included that will fetch good money.
Hence £595 ono.
UK postage £25
Excuse my awful photos, If you want a fresh one of any specific part please let me know and I will try and post one!
