Pinarello Treviso 1990s? rebuild
Postby nigel1963 » Sat Dec 22, 2012 4:52 pm
I have acquired subject steel fame in GC, and have started to purchase bits. Perhaps not a true retro, but will suit me.
Running gear Campag Athena (all silver alloy of course)
Would appreciate some advice regarding these new-fangled bits:
- Head set. I haven't picked up a good argument on BNA and other places to do other than get a good quality threaded assembly for the original forks, and then either stick a traditional quill stem in it or an adapter for a modern stem etcetera. What does your experience suggest? Can I please have your suggestions for model with or without cartridge bearings though I'd much prefer the latter?
- Not sure about handle bars. The modern shaped one make sense particularly with integrated brakes and shifters. Suggested alloy bars to integrate with stem above?
- Haven't looked at seat posts yet, looks a bit more complicated than it was a while back? Might do a brookes saddle.
- Wheels. Was keen on Mavics again, with ferrules in the rims because they have lasted for ever. My son's old mid level trek with bontragers are cracking at the nipple holes, corrosion there hasn't helped. Wiggle had Mavics for campag with ferruled nipple holes six months ago. But now mavic don't seem to make ferruled rims, and have to get campag wheels to get campag hubs unless i have them built? Would appreciate your experience and recommendations! Any body got some good used wheels?
Might have to buy me some new tools
Cheers

I've built up 2 lugged steel frames with modern Campagnolo and new quill stems and bars,New Old Stock seat posts and hubs. Lots of fun
Check out my posts and others in the Retro threads and you'll find lots of examples of similar builds.
Go for it,

Campagnolo still make beautiful 1" threaded head sets and they aren't outrageously expensive. They look identical to those available throughout the 1980s bar the graphics.
I'd personally stick with a quill stem - the 1" threadless headsets just don't look right and the threaded to threadless adapter stems are a visual disaster that is even worse. A lovely polished quill stem would suit the bike perfectly. Most of the stems you see are are that dull looking aluminium, so on my own retro build I'm going to re-use the ITM eclipse that came with the bike, regardless that it's a bit tatty looking on the paint.
I would expect that frame to have a 27.2 seatpost, so you are literally spoiled for choice on seat posts if that is the case. Cheap or expensive, painted or polished, used or new, it's an easy size to get.
Your bars will be somewhat dictated by the stem setup you choose, but there are plenty of polished alloy bars from the early 1990s when ergo shifting became common that have indents on the front and rear of the bars for the cabling.
but really, that's rubbish. We get none of it because the choices are illusory.

So far have bit-knocked-around Campag aero seat post, all silver Athena 11s groupset, steel Campag headset, couple of used stems. Got some new tools!
Likely modern-shape Nitto bars. Possibly mavic wheels, but would be keen on <=32 hole 'retro' set.
Saddle - duno, too many options and my backside has only experience of one for any extended period. Got to get moving....

Fork fitted. Seat, stem acquired. Bars on the way.
Changed the plan. Parked some of the 11 speed stuff, and am having a crack at 10 speed down tube index shifters.
Need to get a few more bits before SHMBO gets a better handle on my profligacy. This weekend while she is away.
I think that the cable routing through the bottom bracket is a bit cruel and could be an impediment for the shifters. http://www.flickr.com/photos/93274691@N06/9215688826" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Should I put a guide like this on it? http://www.totalcycling.com/a-z/shifter ... gnolo.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Where do you buy new old-style handlebars to fit old stems?

Agreed. Nigel, see if you can coax some of the inner teflon lining out of some excess gear cable, and poke that through the BB holes. Then run cables through there. They will require the occasional maintenance, but will run way smoother than just bare cable on metal.Wazza wrote:No! To the external cable guide, Nigel.

Let me know if you have no luck, I am sure I would be able to source you some and pop it in the post.
I fully applaud the 10 speed down tube shifters - a great way to stuck with modern drivetrain components (reposnsive, reliable, durable), and keep the retro feel.
Pinarellos are simply wonderful to ride. I have owned a few, and in fact still have one in a box ....

Seems strange that the socket for the sheath is about 3.5mm, and so will only accept brake sheath with the outer plastic stripped off.
