Hi folks...new to forum so please forgive posting blunders. I gleaned from the forums that if newly interested in road biking, perhaps go with an older good bike first. So I saw a Pinarello on CL got it for 120 and I kind of wanted to know what type and year it might be. I know this same question has been asked before and I know it is not clear cut.
I am a noobie to bikes and do not know all the terms. It does have chrome chain stays and seat stays I believe originally it had the commemorative 84 Olympics paint job as there is yellow blue and red in all the rights spots under the flaking top coat

Here are some pictures I took

My other question is...I am retiring soon and would like to take some bike trips (form town to town campsite to campsite) being on the road for a few weeks. would this be a bike to use for that purpose or should I have a more substantial bike? This bike seems very light and minimalist.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
Bill
