Riding a `95 Banesto Pinarello bike ridden by one of the legends of the era, Jose "El Chava" Jimenez and built by the master frame builder Dario Pegoretti was a risk - could it live up to the image I had built up in my mind? Hell yes!
The Pinarello Dyna`s were custom made by Dario Pegoretti in Italy for Pinarello and were of lugless tig welded construction - still a new method for the time and was the at the peak of competitive steel framed bike construction.
In this video we take a close look at the Pinerello Banesto`s construction, set up, then get out there and give it a good ride, including a fine climb, to really get a good understanding of how this Banest Pinerello actually rides, plus discuss the tragic life and palmeres of super climber Jose "El Chava" Jimenez - winner of 4 overall KOM`s at the Vuelta, 9 grand tour stages and was the first pro to win on the mighty Angliru!
