Reader Craig Young sends these photos of his Pinarello, built up with a
mix of (mostly) retro-era Campy parts:

This bike is my daily rider. I bought the
Pinarello as a Shimano equipped bike. Well, of course, all of that S stuff
had to go. I had a pretty much complete SR gruppo and a few wheelsets
laying around, so I built it up. I don't do NR/SR "speed
modulators", though, preferring to use something that actually stops.
Therefore (should I have said Ergo?), the monoplaners and 95 Chorus
levers. The seatpost is an American Classic, as I did not have a 27.0
Campy post for this bike.
- Frame: Pinarello Catena Lusse - Columbus
Cromor (mid 80's, but later than 1984, since it has the Olympics
decal)
- Drivetrain: Campy SR front / rear with
Campy Record Hubs, Suntour winner Pro Ultra 13-23 6-speed. Campy SR
crankset, 42/52 rings.
- Wheeset: Ambrosio Medaille d'Or rims, 36
hole, Campy Record LF hubs, DT Revolution spokes, except for driveside
rear, which are DT Champion 14/15.
- Campy Athena monoplaner brakeset with
1995 Chorus levers.
- Campy downtube friction shift levers.
- Shimano headset (don't tell anybody;
what can I say. It came with the bike and was still in good shape! I
promise I will change it. (Someday)
- Miche BB.
Hope you enjoy it. It really is a fun bike to ride, and I have several
thousand miles on it.
