Pinarello Pinarello Figaro

It's been looked after this one

This gorgeous looking ting is in great condition…we got it on Monday arvo, it went in the window Monday evening and come Monday night we had someone emailing, hankering after it…he is coming to test ride this week, but if for whatever reason he isn’t seduced by it’s glossy appearance and physical prowess we will put the spec. up here…

Good night sunshine

A morning sunkiss

Jerseys for Sale

We have lots of lovely vintage jerseys for sale…all from Italy, some wool, some poly/cotton…most of the ones we have belonged to Gianni Zola, the Italian road rider….

Here he is back in the day

And here he is in Italy (last year) with his son….

Gianni to the right

He is still in the bike game, but I think he sells more saddles than he sits on these days…he is a thoroughly nice fella and Rob was bewitched by his memorabilia…

We bought a lot of jerseys from him, many of which he raced in, some perhaps he just trained in, and some were probably freebies he collected over the years that he didn’t do much with.

Rob said it was heart warming watching Zola reminisce over each and every jersey, each one flooding his mind with memories of his racing career.

Memories light the corner of my mind

Then Rob the ba****d took all his memories and dragged them half way across the continent.

Only joking, Zola was clearing out for one reason or another…..and so here we are…

I have listed some of them on Ebay….some are in pretty mint condition and some are holier than the lord himself…I would suggest some of them should be viewed as memorabilia rather than performance wear, but in the same breath I think the holey ones would look mint with a plain base layer worn underneath..
