1994-ish Pinarello Gavia with 10 speed Veloce/Chorus
1994-ish Pinarello Gavia with 10 speed Veloce/Chorus.
The Pinarello Gavia is the prettiest bike I’ve owned, with chrome stays & fork and a ton of Panto. I carefully removed the few faulty paper decals and wet sanded the paint. I installed a few new decals as needed. The frame looks new with no scratches, dents or corrosion.
It’s also is a first class performer and was considered top-of-the-range from Pinarello at the time. The tubing is TSX and the bike was built with an 8-speed cassette & Ergo Levers in mind. The rear drop-out is 130mm from the factory. Pinarello was the last brand to win the Tour de France with a steel frame and Big Mig. If you think that all steel bikes should have down-tube shifters, please stop reading now; this bike is not for you.
“near new” means the parts were new prior to the build. The bike has 400 miles since the build in 2015.
