Hi all,
I’ve been riding this Pinarello for about 15 years and I’m now considering giving it a proper makeover.
Before doing that, I’d really like to understand what this frame actually is, since I’ve never been fully confident about its identity.
I bought the frame on eBay listed as NOS. Based on assumption that its from 80s, I built it up with a Campy Super Record groupset and have been riding it mostly for touring, and over time the decals have worn and started to peel.
I’ve never been able to pin it down to a specific model or even confirm if it’s fully legit.
Frame details
– No model name anywhere on the frame
– The yellow “PINARELLO” decals don’t match any known font/design with archive models when I google search
– No head tube badge or decal
– No Pinarello engraving on the seatstay caps
– “PINARELLO” stamp under the bottom bracket
– Rear dropout shows partial “…ELLO” stamping, possibly “PINARELLO”
Does this look like a genuine Pinarello to you, and if so, any idea what era or model it might be? Also, if I were to replace the decals, what would be the most appropriate era or style to go with (ideally something available today)?
