I'm in aus and a friend of mine has a large collection of nos frames.
The two I'm interested in are ones i owned before -
An ibanesto team pinarello prince sl from 2004 and a 2010 pinarello prince fp in caisse de epargne.
Both are in my size, nos and beautiful machines. My wife's given me the go ahead for one of them, but I may get both and leave one here.

Which would you go with ?

Banesto.
You, however, left out the most important bits of information: what is your size and does your friend have other frames he wants to sell?

I ride between 55.5-56~cm TT. most of his frames are between 55-57cm

He has a lot of older mid 2000s frames as well as some from the late 90s (from what he told me he has about 80-90 unridden frames of which I saw about 15 of at his home.

I'm not sure he's looking to sell any / many but I can ask him if he has anything ?

He wants a grand for the prince sl and 1400 for the prince carbon. What do you make of the prices ? He's in Aus so prices are a lot higher originally....

So am I, but maybe rather fortunately I need something around the 50-52cm mark. Sounds like a great collection
