198? Pinarello Veneto
I just got back from a sweet score from CL for what I believe to have been an excellent deal ($200). It is a Pinarello Veneto, which I believe was near the bottom of the Pin line up, but at the same time a quality bike. The tubing is Columbus Aelle Tretubi with a full indexed Shimano 105 (105x) group, other than the brake levers which I believe have been swapped out. Then again, I haven't seen a set of those levers before. The rims are Fir EL 19 with a 6 speed Cassette. I particularly like the pantographed 3T stem. There was some pretty bad pitting on the chrome and spokes that I got looking a bit better with the old aluminum and lemon juice trick, and there is still some more rust on the frame and headset that I need to take care of. Something also seems to gotten on the cranks as the finish is strangely damaged. If anyone could date this bike for me that would be great (serial #:ZZ 443, catalog would work too) Anyways, without further ado... here are the pics:
