I've been wanting a vintage cross bike for a while and when this Pinarello cross showed up in my size, I snapped it up. I haven't decided how I'm going to build it up yet (2 x 7 or 3 x 7). I've mocked it up with tires and it handles 32c clinchers comfortably. I may talk myself into buying some cross tubulars though as I know the ride will be plush and I have some quality tubular wheelsets sitting around. This is as the bike came to me in the "wild" with a bunch of OK but inexpensive Japanese gear. I think I'm going to build it up with suntour xc pro and command shifters.
