Pinarello Road Bicycle, circa 1974–1975 – Columbus Steel – Campagnolo – Freiburg Provenance

Offered for auction is a beautifully preserved Italian racing bicycle from the golden era of steel frame construction, built by Pinarello in approximately 1974–1975.

The bicycle features a high-quality lugged Columbus steel frame with numerous period details, including a fully chromed fork, partially chromed rear triangle, original Columbus decals, and matching frame and fork serial numbers. The frame retains its original paintwork with honest signs of age and use, reflecting decades of careful ownership rather than restoration.

The bicycle is equipped with period Campagnolo components, including a Campagnolo Nuovo Record rear derailleur, Campagnolo front derailleur and shifters, complemented by Gipiemme brakes, crankset, and hubs, and Mavic rims. The drivetrain is configured as a classic 2x6-speed setup.

A particularly interesting feature of this bicycle is its documented connection to the Freiburg cycling scene. The frame carries “Sütterlin” decals, whose origin was confirmed directly by Manfred Sütterlin, former owner of the long-standing Pinarello dealership in Freiburg and son of Fritz Sütterlin. According to his correspondence, the decals were designed by him in the late 1970s, and the bicycle most likely passed through the Sütterlin shop during this period. While no direct link to a specific rider or racing team can be established, this provides a rare and authentic piece of regional cycling history.
