Jim's Bike

Gosh, we love our customers.

Some of them turn into long-term penpals. Others get back in touch at odd intervals to update and fine-tune their setups.

And some, like Jim Savege, tell us that they're selling up. Jim just moved to a seriously hilly area and finds his beloved Pinarello too much hard work. He asked if we'd like to help him sell it.

As on previous occasions, we're not involved in the money side of things. This is a direct transaction between you and Jim, and we can't arbitrate. But Jim is a good guy.

Spec for the bike follows. You'll probably recognise a few Hubjub bits, not least those lovely (and now quite unobtainable) Gaansari GoldenBoy hubs.

Pinarello Pista track frame, 54cm in blue
Silver Chris King headset
ITM millenium full carbon forks with m-part carbon topcap & proper bung for carbon forks
Mavic CXP rims on Gaansari goldenboy hubs (fixed/free rear hub) with Michelin Pro Race tyres
Miche track chainset (165mm) with 48t chainring mounted on a Phil Wood bottom bracket
16t EAI rear cog with chunky YBN chain and MKS chaintugs
Sella Italia Nixe gel flow saddle mounted on a campag record carbon seatpost alloy aero handlebars (cannot remember the make) with pinarello bar tape and a 120mm magnesium easton stem
Front campag record brake with a single bar end brake (dia compe I think)

Jim says: "Condition is very good - the odd paint chip etc as one would expect from a bike that's been ridden, but that's it - no gouges, crashes etc at all! It looks stunning and rides wonderfully.

"I have a spare 49t miche chainring I can throw in, and also have a set of full carbon ITM handlebards and ITM carbon wrap stem that could be mounted up as an alternative.

"Thinking of £650.00 or so. Based in Penrith, can travel and meet/deliver if reasonably close, or courier if further away."
