Some Quick Pinarello help!!
I'm in the midst of potentially picking up this very mistreated, and terribly spray painted Pinarello:

I can't tell at all what these components might be, any guesses? The seat post looks like something much more Sugino or Sakae than Italian made, but let me know. Any clues on anything on this bike would be a huge help. I already said I'd go up to $75 being pretty blind on what I'm getting. More info on anything you see would be a huge help in deciding whether to bow out or offer a little more trying to pick this thing up!
Thanks folks!

Please don't confuse ebay "asking" prices with "selling" prices. Many sellers never get their ask price. some are far from it. Value is determined once an item actually SELLS. Its easy enough to check SOLD prices.

Wow, that's a mess - worth $75. Compents look like Shimano (maybe 600). Wouldn't count on it being a Pinarello.

incazzare.
The rear wheel is on the front and the front wheel is on the rear? Sigh.
That may or may not be an actual Pinarello.

The hour drive to the boonies was worth it....Pinarello it is! Components were a mosh of random higher end stuff, no real rhyme or reason: Shimano 600 and Dura-Ace, Campy Record, Maillard 600. Luckily, it looks like acrylic or latex spray paint on the frame and it is coming off relatively easy with some goof off and elbow grease, but it's going to take some time. Although the head badge will make it, none of those decals will....
Miamijim - good point on the theft potential. I asked the guy what the deal was, and he said he bought the bike a long time ago for his son, who was the one who decided to paint it. It seems sometime after that he figured out/was told that this was actually a nice bike. He tried to get the spray paint off himself to sell it (very, very poorly) and gave up (which I'm very glad of, as the only portions of the bike which are looking bad after paint removal are the areas where he tried to do it himself). He seemed on the up and up, but, you never know.
---So, nonetheless, I'm still making sure this isn't a bad karma bike. I've searched all the major CLs within a few hours of here, and there is no word on a stolen Pinarello. The local and national theft registries also have no hits for an older model, but, I'm going to keep looking for awhile to make sure I'm not screwing someone over.
