Help identifying/valuing Pinarello frame (might be a Gavia?)
Hello...i'm a long-time listener/first-time caller...this is my first post here. I've just unwrapped what will be my first restoration, a repainted steel Pinarello frame that i got from an Italian seller on Ebay. Details: 52cm, with a metal Pinarello headbadge that's held on by adhesive, not rivets. The BB is stamped "C 237 PINARELLO TREVISO" and "PINARELLO" is spelled out (rather than the GPT logo) on the rear-brake bridge and the tops of the seatstays (these are beveled, not flat, so the logo is spelled out twice on each.) The dropouts are painted so I can't tell if they were originally chrome, and they are also stamped PINARELLO. The top tube has internal cable routing, and the seatpost clamp bolt says "Campagnolo"...there is a brazed-on front derailleur mount on the seat tube. Oddly, it's got a "PRINCE" decal on the top tube. The fork, which has been painted to match, has no markings or stamping except for "DACCORDI" on the dropouts. The frame came with a Shimano 600 headset, but i suppose that could've been pressed in any time. I looked for rifling inside the tubing but can't tell if it's there or not.
I'd appreciate any help with year/model and what it might be worth (whether i got ripped off.) From my research, i think it might be a Gavia?
