My vintage Merckx jersey with my 1988ish Merckx Corsa Extra

This Banesto jersey is like the ones worn by Miguel Indurain. Miguel Indurain's five-year reign over the Tour de France comprised the bulk of what would be Pinarello's golden age. Adding on the victories of Riis and Ullrich, Pinarellos would dominate the race for seven years straight. 1994 would be the last year the Tour de France was won on a steel bike, this time an Oria-tubed, TIG-welded machine badged as a Pinarello but rumored to have been made under contract by legendary Italian builder Dario Pegoretti. The bike is my 1993ish Pinarellos Gavia
