Hello. I am a Newbie to this forum.
I recently bought an old Pinarello frame and am trying to identify the model and possible age.
My first steps along this path was to contact Pinarello and ask for info. The acknowledged my enquiry and gave me a ticket number. Since then, nothing. I tried Pinarello in the UK and the answer I received did not make any sense (1997 Stelio size 51)
The seat tube bottle mounts and Columbus stickers made me think the frame may be a Montello. However, I have been unable to find ridges inside the bottom of the seat tube. The rear dropouts are Pinarello. I am not sure about the head tube badge which looks like it may not be original. This should suggest late 1980s or early 1990s, but I think the rear brake bridge is from the early 1980s.
Any info would be much appreciated. Many thanks in anticipation.
