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.
Some 40 years later, Pinarello was producing some of the best frames on the market and also frequently triumphant in grand tours. The offer was quite wide ranging from the entry-level models to the racing specials for the biggest races. Our Pinarelo Olé classic road bicycle was aiming for an ambitious amateur riders. Based on stable CMn (carbon-manganese) Pinarello Arché steel tubes with traditional non-ovesized profile the classic looks is underlined by the lugged construction.
