I couldn't see where to click for "show more". Where are they located?

Nice example. I thought I had one bought at the Chicago swap in January; told the seller I would be back to purchase it later but he sold it to someone else before I got back. Quite a bit cheaper than this one but probably not as nice.

I don't like Flickr's app for this sort of thing. If you are on a real computer, does this take you to the album?

Right above "87 pictures" is a faint "Show More" link which should expand the description.

Bob (whose Flickr account holds the "Ken's Bikes" album) is in North Bend, WA. I'm not sure, but I suspect Ken is somewhere in the PNW as well.

Hope this helps.

Literally a pro who has to dump team bikes? I don't see that as a size on the Spesh site, but the geometry makes sense for that kind of bike.

Not cheap but tempted because when i wanted a road bike 15 years ago there was no such thing as a bike with these dimensions.

I've seen more than a handful of 64cm Specialized bikes over the years - must be special order..

64cm Pinarello Treviso:

Hopefully those are Campagnolo Doppler shifters. It does have a Regina freewheel instead of something suggesting index shifting (Syncro), so perhaps.

it pains me to share this but right now with some medical issues I cannot act on this:

ihmo price is a little too high though.

Nice collection of vintage original bicycles.

A bunch of cool old bikes here, but the mid-60s Cinelli is once-in-a-lifetime special. Somebody here needs to jump on this, not as a garage queen or as a show piece, but as a rider. I have absolutely no connection with this sale or seller and have no skin in this game, but a Paceliner needs to keep this fantastic bike on the road. If this fits you, you need to buy this bike, Now.

It will be heavy. It has a longer wheelbase than you think you need. It will be the best riding steel bike you have ever owned, and maybe your best riding bike, period. If I hadn't already found a 64cm mid-60s Cinelli (and it is without question the best riding bike I have ever had, although I'm strictly a steel frame guy), this one would no longer be for sale.

Don't want the period-correct parts on it? Swap 'em out for what you do want. (Get the rear end spread to 130mm and you're good to go.) Set it up however you want. Just buy this bike. You will not regret it.

And yes, that's a fair price.

ihmo price is a little too high though and it appears that the steerer tube has been cut down. otherwise a great bike.

[alancw3]

anyway looks like the bike sold fast. just hope someone here was able to get it.
