Looking at this one on ebay. Looking for any info on a Viner Record. Any idea of the years these were built. Thinking it is kinda newer as it says it is built with
PegoRichie tubing.
Here is the description for the seller.
56cm Viner Record Frameset.Steel bikes are back and that great ride feel is something every one should experience. This is a hand built frame and fork that is a rolling piece of art and will still be going when you hand it down to your son or daughter. Viner (Builder of high profile racing bicycles since 1947) Record is a Modern Classic, Hand crafted for Viner by Billato Brothers frame builders in Italy. Limited Edition (Pearl White w/ Red accents) Steel frame built with Columbus Spirit tubing (Also known as PegoRichie tubing) and Richard Sachs Lugs, Fork Crown, Bottom Bracket and Dropouts. 56cm seat tube x 56cm top tube measured center to center.

Maybe ask these guys.

I did find a mention of 2014 special edition Viner Record bikes.

You can also try asking Billato when they made those.

Viner bicycles were popular race workhorses back in the 1980s. Cool!

I raced on one in the 80’s. Crazy steep geometry as I recall.

Thanks. The tire clearance on this one is only 25. I am looking for 27/28 tire clearance.

Yep, this is newer. Owned a few Viners, loved them all.

my Viner was my main road bike for 25 years. I got one because they were cheap. Nicely built bike, but I always thought the paint was made of something the consistency of chicklets. Chipped like crazy.

The one pictured is on ebay and seems like a good price for a NOS PegoRichie lugged frame and fork. I am getting a new frame built using that same tube and lug set.
