Wow, super Job und super Aufnahmen!! Erinnert mich an die Restaurierung von meinem OLMO San Remo letztes Jahr, da bekomme ich direkt bock auf das nächste Projekt!
This Pinarello road racing bike appears to be a late 1980's model with the full Campagnolo groupset. If it's the Campagnolo "Record" groupset then in that decade it was the most expensive, prestigious and best quality road racing componentry that one could buy at approximately $3,000 in the 80's. At least half the Tour de France race teams preferred Campagnolo groupsets between the 1960's to 2000. This Pinarello model is a premium grade road racing bike that would have cost approximately $8,000 in the 1980's. I lusted after a new Pinarello in the 80's but it was way out of my budget. It is a beautiful, mechanical work of art that is unforgettable to ride.
I'm pretty sure this is not a Campagnolo Record groupset..the crankset is differently shaped and the brakes are different too. Also the Derailleur has less details and is built in a different way..so this is a lower down the line group...but the bike is still very nice and valuable..the only fact that it's a good condition full Campa group makes this a good bike.
+Armando Forno It's Victory which was Campag trying to satisfy customers for old Super Record styling after C record was introduced; the cranks were a different design as were mechs, but brakes were near identical and often passed off for SR
Bottom headset nut should not be tightened right down, just a bit of preload until the quill stem is inserted, then when the expander bolt is tightened, screw down the headset locknut and snug the bottom nut up against it anticlockwise, check for play and redo if needed. The mechanic just about did everything to wreck the headset!
So thought I then thinking back 40 years I remembered the flat washer between the two nuts has a tab inside that goes in a vertical groove in the threaded section of the stem, it prevents the top nut from turning the bottom nut, go back to part 1 video when he removes bottom nut the washer does not turn just moves up and off.
Taking out the lacquer with compound/t-cut or course polish is not what I would call restoration. Not a bad job in cleaning up a classic 80s frame is more like it. As for the cranks, all campag stuff past and present are the best, but this is Victory here, and Victory is the cheap stuff at the bottom of the range. Even in good nick it sells for little money. In this era if it were C-Record that would be the ultimate. I'm running C-Record on my retro build Daccordi and sold off surplus C-Record brakes, cranks, pedals, rear mech and more on ebay for big money, that that Daccordi is Bea-u-ti-foool!
I'm with you. Polish that lovely post, and ream the tube so you don't have to see-saw it in there. 10 times more tools than I've got and 1/5th the attention to detail.
For my Litespeed Ultimate build, bottom bracket and headset, I used automotive grease which was red colored. I hope I didn't f' up my dream ride. It rides great and lives up to it's name. Does the type of grease matter as long as it's heavier and not lighter grease?
More like cleaning it and building it back up. Something cyclists of that era did on an annual basis to keep the bikes going. Looking inside a hub or a headset, or even a 6 speed block, was just part of the job. Although the bearings in a block were an absolute nightmare.
Im doing atm restoration of Pinarello Treviso 1981 , and damn its hard , im having problem to detach steering from frame something is stuck , i even came here to see how he does it and i do same as him but nop its not going . Will see to take bike to some1 proffesional to help me because im working on bike on balcony of my apartment :D But im having a blast discovering how good the bike was built , even freaking glue from bars is still sticky as hell hahahaha and its what 37years old
-Not using traditional bend drop bars -Not taking off overhauling the BB and taking off the crankset while working on the frame -Brake cables in front of bars 7/10
How do you clean up the *alloy*? Like the aluminium pedals, and wheel hubs? I've an old Colnago which I'm doing up, but apart from "Astonish" paste which requires infinite amounts of elbow grease to remove the chunky white spots of aluminium oxide, I don't know what else to use, to make the job happen this century!! :( PLEASE HELP!!
Looks nob on , after the restoration ,am in the process of restoring a 1980 Raleigh premier 12 ,just hope it comes out has good has this Pinarello does.
Black bar tape and black housing! No! No! No! I loved this video till I saw that. Ugh. White or a similar shade of green for both would have made that bike.
