Does anybody here know (or know of a site/etc. that lists) the order-in-range and tubing used on Pinarello steel frames in the 1990's?

I cannot find much info on the 'net.
Even Classic Rendezvous doesn't have their Pinarello page up!
The Sachs/Bulgier catalog collection stops in 1989.

It seems the order in 1989, as far as I can gather, was:
1. Montello (lugged, Columbus SLX)
2. Treviso (lugged, Columbus SL)
3. Cadore (lugged, Columbus Cromor)
4. Veneto (lugged, Columbus Aelle TreTubi)
The lower end models look like they used Oria tubing.

I can't find where the Radius (filet brazed), Vuelta, Stelvio, etc. fit in (I suppose some of these models are name changes for those above or vice versa).

As far as the tubing, I suppose that changed over time too, as I'm pretty sure Pinarello used Columbus and also Dedacciai (Dolmen, Kens) proprietary tubing, I think.

Any help appreciated.

Hello,

I don't have this info, but also am very interested because I recently aquired a Pinarello frame that I've attached an image of to this post. It is built of Dedacciai Kens and I believe its model name is the "Stelvio" from 1998.

Please share any infomation you gather, I will try and hunt somoe down on my end too. But I'm new to road bikes and am not sure where to look (besides google), do you have any suggestions?

Thanks!

By the late nineties the Dolmen tubing was used on the Asolo. It was a lower end bike - mine has 105 9spd.

Despite being 'low end' the workmanship is insane!

from early to midnineties, dedacciai was mostly used.. i know the radius, filletbrazed, was top of the line and the vuelta, lugged, came right after. the tubing is called pinarello something but it's heat treated, different diameter deda.

Could you guys maybe identify this frame? My girlfriend is thinking of buying it for around $300CAD and I'm wondering whether this is a good deal (all the attached componentry should be included)

.From the chrome fork and cable mounting it would appear to be one of the higher end models. $300 seems reasonable.

It turns out that the frame is a Pinarello Asolo likely from 1991 or 1992 based on the 1990 world championship sticker at the top of the downtube. I built it up for my girlfriend as a single speed (don't kill me, its what she wanted!), and its a real joy to ride. Responsive, poised, great power transmission, stiff and it just looks so fine! I think evetually it may have to end up with a full campagnolo gruppo to match the headset and bb and to give it some slightly longer legs.

I bought a Gavia back in 1994 and know Pinarello's mid-90s line-up pretty well (as I lived near Treviso and was/am a big fan of Pinarello.

Vuelta and Stelvio are essentially the same bike. Oversize lugged steel. The Vuelta came first and uses Columbus EL/OS tubeset. The Stelvio came out when Pinarello started a big move towards using proprietary tubesets made for them by Dedaccai. So the Stelvio model uses Dedaccai's version of oversized steel tubes that they made under a Pinarello name called Kens. Essentially the same bike.

Radius also used Dedaccai tubeset made under a Pinarello name but was tig welded with the tubes flared into a square shape at the ends. Personnally I prefer the lugged the Vuelta and Stelvio models to the Radius. Much more elegant.

I don't know the exact relationship between Pinarello and Dedaccai, but it seems to be very close. About1995, Pinarello started moving towards all of their bikes being made from "Pinarello" tubesets made by Dedaccai.

great info.. i have a vuelta and it's tubing is called pinarello something, arx.. not columbus, i'm sure. even the fork is pinarello and 3 letters.
