Bought this Pinarello yesterday. :thumbsup:

Do you guys/girls know what model it is? I did not get my hands on the serial number yet. One one of the pics you can see the last few digits. ....92

I will repaint it and use it as a fixie! :blush2:

You can see several years catalogs here:

Latest one is 1989 though. The parts are lower line Campy on your bike.

But i'm not sure...

Anyone?

.....

sure looks like a treviso to me.ALL Pinarello's have Treviso on them.

Treviso is where they're made!!

.....

*Duh*....
... and your point is....?

did you look at the btm bkt details of his bike? his appears to be of more recent vintage than my old 82 Treviso as the decalling,headbadge and fork crown are different but otherwise,as near as I can see in the pics,- the lugwork, features and detailling look very nearly identical to mine.


ps-to the OP- how about some clear close up pics?- esp of the lugwork, bridges, fork crown and top/side view of the btm bkt shell?My point was that "Treviso" is nothing to do with the model as it is the location of the Pinarello works. In the same way that the "Brev" on Campag stuff is nothing more than an abreviation of Patent in Italian.

Actually, I think that particular model is know as the 'Treviso'. You may want to look at a catalog before you make yourself look foolish(er).

Thanks for the geography and Italian lesson, though.:rolleyes:

It does look like a Treviso - the model.

so...????

got any other sage industry "insider" knowledge you care to pass on to us newbies,eh,sport?

<g>My mistake Old Sage. Should have checked the link first. My bad.

So so far most votes for a Treviso? The bike will be shipped today from the Netherlands. Will take a week or so i guess. But in the meanwhile, the components. Any idea on the crancks and brakes?
and what about the headset? I'm new to classic roadbikes, but what type of Chris King headset can i use on this frame?

Appreciate your time!

TobiasIt will depend on what is in there at the moment. Post picks of the headset already fitted as it's difficult to tell what's there now. Many classic bikes that I see in my shop have had a knackered headset replaced with an Shimano 105. If the mechanic has spaced it out to accomodate the lack of stack height you should be ok. If he's trimmed the steerer down then it's 105 only as it had the lowest stack of all, way lower than a King.

Good luck.

Stronglight headsets also had pretty low stack heights if the steer tube has been cut short.

Or this? http://www.chrisking.com/headsets/hds_gnut.html

First of all.. the frame number: it says I992 or 1992, that's it! Looks more like the first though (so a capital 'i' followed by 992).

Also found a capital 'E' stamped on the bottom bracket between the chainstays

You can see it on one of the pictures, i drew a green rectangle around it and marked the E green.

The pictures can be found here:
Pinarello 'Treviso' pictures! (http://picasaweb.google.com/tobias.daman/200712PinarelloArrival)

Any idea what model it is?
What about the headset, can i replace this with a Chris King gripnut headset? It says Shimano on the current one, nothing more..

Thanks again. :thumbsup:

.....

sure looks like a treviso to me.


Just ordered the right decal set from this ebay seller in Australia.

The frame will be painted metallic blue. White decals, silver Campa cranks, Mango Chris King headset, all black or all silver wheelset (haven't decided yet).

:blush2:

It just started snowing here... so i have to wait for 5 months to try this baby on the road :)

I look forward to some pictures of the work in progress!
(silver rims & spokes please!)

Removed the 3 braze-on's on the top tube. Since i'm converting to fixed, there's no need for those anymore...

it's your bike... but why take out the brake cable guides? weight savings? "aesthethics"? it has lived another life as a geared frame. now it will be a fixed. who knows what it could be after?
if you are going to hacksaw the frame does it matter what it is anyway? let's say it's a number pipes joined together.
i saw an ibis mojo for sale the other day but someone in a gesture of infinite wisdom hacksawed the derr. drop outs and brazed track drop outs instead. the frame which could be sold around $600 is now worth peanuts. worse.. it looks horrible.

again, it's your bike... and this is my opinion.

Your opinion, but I agree. I love the photos, but what they depict bums me out. Once this fixie-fad passes by, there will be a lot of scarred, crippled old classics out there. Why not just build around the bike's history? Give it the opportunity for a new future, someday.

And I say that as someone with a SS and a fixie--I like 'em, but they can be something else for someone else when I'm done.

We can rebuild it. We have the technology. Better. Stronger. Faster.

That's what steel's all about!

@Colker1: Yeah the main reason was to save some weight, i don't care about esthetics :rolleyes:

I just removed the braze-on's on the top top tube.. the rest of the frame will be untouched (by the Dremel). Agree that it's stupid to destroy a frame but i don't feel at all that i'm doing that. It's peanuts to revert this baby to a classic road bike later on. Check out this solution...

No worries guys :thumbsup:

Why the F**k would you destroy such a beautiful frame by grinding off the braze ons?!?!?!? You do know that they do not make these frames anymore, and are considered by some to be collectors items, regardless of the condition. And now thanks to you there is one less left. If you really want a "fixie" go and buy a Bianchi Pista and add a front brake or even better, go for a walk in the woods and get lost before you F-up something else.

I seriously don't understand the stupidity of some people.

ever heard of tsx tubbing
