1984 Pinarello GPT Special

This vintage Italian steed is a Pinarello GPT Special, crafted during the golden age of steel racing frames. With its gleaming chrome rear triangle, lustrous red paintwork, and iconic Pinarello pantographs, it radiates old-school speed and soul.
Built from Columbus steel tubing, this frame has that perfect flex and road feel that carbon just can’t replicate. Whether you’re cruising city streets or putting it on display, this ride is all about heritage and head-turns.

Giovanni 'Nani' Pinarello, born in 1922, was one of the whole generation of riders from child rich families who chose a career in cycling. In the era of Coppi, Bartali and Bobet, he was quite a successful amateur rider with loads of won races which eventually earned him a contract as professional rider.
The year of 1953 then saw him making his dream come true - by using money, which he got as a compensation for handing over his Giro d'Italia starting place, for the setup of a bicycle shop and manufacture in his hometown Treviso.
From then on Pinarello bikes became more and more famous, more and more refined.
In 1975 the company finally achieved its first Giro d'Italia victory. And today there are not many brands with a similar number of triumphs in big races.
One of their classic top bikes, the Pinarello Special was, like the name suggests, a rather fine build. It is absolutely one the great classics which left the prestigious factory from Treviso, Italy.
Manufactured with light Columbus tubes, the Pinarello Special still shows the Classic GPT seat stay caps (Giovanni Pinarello Treviso) and the old style cable routing with the rear cable being clamped to the top tube.
