Barrett - I have a very similar '97 Pinarello Monviso that is currently set up as a single speed. I want to convert it back to a true geared road machine. Is it set up as 9 or 10 speed? What groupset did you go with? More interested in the shifters and derailleurs.

Erzulis - I was lucky enough to find a frame with decals in good condition, so my first step after buying the frame was to give it a clear coat. I don't know what they were thinking by leaving the decals unprotected from the elements.

Here is mine in its current state...
