Vintage Pinarello, Modern Shimano Dura Ace | Neo-Retro Bike Build Ep. 2

Alex is back with his neo-retro build!
The bike finally takes a more modern look with the Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset begin fitted, along with the handlebar and saddle.
Needless to say, Alex does hit a few roadblocks along the way with fitting the cables, but somehow manages to overcome it with a drill bit!

In association with ‪@RideShimano‬
