Thanks for the advise and no offense taken. Last month I new nothing about cycling or what Campagnolo parts were. I will hold onto this Pinarello frame set. After a little research I was under the impression the Treviso and Mod. Treviso frames were not sought after. I assumed the Montello and Record Pinarello frame sets were the ones to look out for. I will hang this Glass Black Pinarello frame set with all its fading decals over my work bench for a while. Your right, I need to learn more about this sport. I will keep my eye out for a Campagnolo Nuevo Record Gruppo for the Pinarello Columbus ST frame set. That might take a few years to score.

@Chriscraft760 -Whew! That was close! I am not sure there was a bad Pinarello. Record and Montello are at the top but that doesn't mean any of the others are at the bottom relative to other marques offerings, like Bottecchia.

Every time I see a Trek or read about those older bikes, it always takes me back to those racing days in So cal (with Twigg)when the world's best girls show up for great racing, including the 84 Olympic which we volunteered at the track. Trek sponsered her for a couple of years and rode what I believed its the exact same bike and color. Here a link and a photo of her and the bike if you are interested.

JohnDThomson, I don't remember having that paint job with the panels and that seat lug. I was wondering if it might have been an employee bike?

Probably pretty close, but not exact. The 1984 Olympic team bikes were quite similar to the production model 170 frames, but were actually custom designs based on each rider's measurements and preferences. They all used Reynolds 753 tubing, and used standard Campagnolo 1010B dropouts, Cinelli bottom bracket shells, and custom machined Ishiwata SCM fork crowns that only appeared on the first few model 170 production frames before being replaced by the investment cast Trek dropouts, BB shells, and Tange fork crowns.

Yes, I worked for Trek from 1980-86, including work on those team bikes. They weren't simply "custom fitted;" the frames themselves were custom frames built to the riders' measurements and preferences in the Trek prototype shop.

JohnDThompson, I read somewhere that the Trek Investment Cast BB's were made in two configurations and the 60TSI being more scarce than the 58TSI. Can you tell me why the two different angles in BB? Which is better?

The numbers indicate the angle between the seat tube and down tube; TSI was the initials of the designer, Tim Isaac. Only the larger frame sizes (60cm and higher, IIRC) required the 60° shell; the majority of frames used the 58° shell simply because that's what comprised the majority of demand in frame sizes.

I changed the Cinelli stem from the 1A to a 1R that came standard on the Trek 170. I also wrapped the bar in white Cinelli cork and like the way it brings out the Trek lettering.
Installed a Black Brooks saddle and gum wall tires for the vintage look.
