Pinarello Banesto Team Replica Road Itm Race Bike Campagnolo Chorus Zipp Carbon

Pinarello Banesto Team Replica Bike, famously ridden by Miguel Indurain, which has been restored and updated with a more modern Campagnolo Chorus QS Carbon 10 Speed Groupset and Campagnolo Vento G3 Wheelset.

Measurements:

Horizontal toptube length (Centre of seat tube – Centre of Headtube (mm) – 560mm

Seat-tube length (Centre of BottomBracket inline with Seat-tube to top of Seat-tube (mm) – 555mm

I originally bought the bike with an 8 Speed Campagnolo groupset and Miche Wheels around 3 years ago. I have since stripped the bike of the old parts and have given it a new lease of life. The Frame is in beautiful condition with the odd expected age related cosmetic marks.

The Campagnolo Vento G3 wheels I purchased brand new and believe they are a rare limited edition in the silver with sheriff star hubs. I can honestly say the wheels have been out on three rides and have covered fewer than 100 miles.

The Campagnolo Groupset is in excellent condition regularly maintained and dry stored. In typical Campagnolo fashion has many years of use and enjoyment left as opposed to it’s more mass produced cheaper shimano rival. The groupset comprises of:

– Chorus 10 speed Multi-shift STI
– Chorus Skeleton Brake Calipers
– Chorus 10 Speed Carbon Chainset 170mm Cranks 50/34t Century finish chain rings.
– Chorus 10 speed QS braze on Front Mech
– Chorus 10 speed Carbon Rear Mech
– 13/29t Cassette and New 10 speed Campagnolo 10 speed chain
– All brand new cables/Bar tape and fully serviced.
– Brand New Ultra Torque Bottom Bracket.
– Deda chrome seat post.
– Zipp Speed Weaponry Carbon Handlebars.
– ITM Eclipse Stem
– Vittoria Open Corsa 700cX25c Tan Wall Tyres.

– PLEASE NOTE – The pedals and saddle will not be included as these are specific to each rider.

This bike is a piece of cycling history with great heritage from the best era in cycling. It has been lovingly restored by myself and in my opinion now enjoyable with tasteful components with no compromise in quality or cost. THIS BIKE IS NOT A ORNAMENT, most importantly this bike is ready to ride away and be enjoyed unlike many of it’s related examples I have seen on sites like these.

I am open to sensible offers, however the few I have seen for sale similar in quality and condition have been for handsome money so I will not sell for less than what I think is fair, as I am in no hurry to part ways with this bike.

Cash on collection much preferred but the option to post is also available to the buyer at the expense of the buyer.

Any questions/ specific photos please feel free to get in touch. Many Thanks, Liam

Team Banesto History 1990-2003

In 1990, Spanish bank Banesto took over as the main sponsor of the team from Reynolds. Delgado was the team leader for the Tour de France while Miguel Indurain and Julián Gorospe were the leaders for the week long stage races. When Gorospe took the lead in that year’s Vuelta, the team went behind him in a bid to win the race. However Gorospe lost the leader’s jersey and Delgado took over the leadership but could not regain the time that Italian Marco Giovannetti had gained and ended the race second overall behind Giovannetti. Over the following years, Indurain rose to become a dominator of stage races winning five editions of the Tour de France and two editions of the Giro d’Italia. Delgado was the team leader for the Vuelta. The team also achieved success with Jean-François Bernard who won the 1992 edition of Paris–Nice with the team. The team won the Vuelta again in 1998 with Abraham Olano. During this time Alex Zülle joined the team and finished the 1999 Tour de France second overall while legendary climber José María Jiménez performed in the Vuelta a España. The team became known as iBanesto.com in the final years of the sponsorship of the Banesto bank.
