Pursuit/sloping geometry, monostay rear bridge, MASSIVE oversized stays. Campagnolo headset and Suntour Superbe Pro track BB included. Both are in excellent shape.

Pinarello Prologo TT frame

Early 90s Pinarello Prologo TT frame - identical to the team bikes used during that era. 52cm seat tube c-t-c, 51cm top tube c-t-c. Very rare! Designed for use in time trialing, so they pulled out all the stops - full aero cable routing (brake cable AND shifter cables, even inside chainstay for RD), aero shifter mounts, curved tubing, etc. Columbus Cromor tubing. Beautifully lugged with Pinarello pantographing - seat cluster is half-lugged with seamless fillet brazing - absolutely stunning. Stronglight Delta needle-bearing headset. Pinarello seatpost clamp bolt (super rare - I've never even seen one before). Paint is nearly perfect, decals are nearly all intact (rare for Pinarello!), and there are absolutely no dings, scrapes, or dents anywhere. 700c rear wheel, 650c front. 27.2mm seat tube diameter. Italian threaded BB shell. 130mm rear spacing, 100mm front.

Basso Loto Columbus SLX road frame

AMAZING Basso Loto road frame and fork. 56cm square. Columbus SLX tubing throughout. Basso pantographed fork crown, seat lug, dropouts, etc. Webbed BB lugs (sorry, they're a little dusty in the pic), incredible craftsmanship! Really awesome paint (integrates Basso "B" into the transition - very unlike Italian paintjobs of the era, which tended to favor more flamboyant patterns). Internally routed rear brake cable (I left the cable in for ease of setting the bike up. Italian threaded BB shell. No dents or dings anywhere. Only minor chips and scratches from use.
