Very nice Trevisio. However, I see a couple of characteristics that suggest it is newer than a 1984 model. First, the seat tube decal has the Pinarello logo on both sides of the tube instead of a single logo on the front on the tube. The only bicycles with the dual logo seat tube decal prior to 1985 were those with dual bottle cages. If you look at the 1985 catalog you will see that all the bicycles have the single logo decal, except for the the Record with the double bottle option and the mock-up of the new Montello. Secondly, the down tube appears to have the palmares decal celebrating Grewal's 1984 Olympic victory. This took place around the beginning of August 1984 and by the time this decal was designed, manufactured and delivered, they would almost certainly have been into 1985 production. The bicycle may have been bought in late 1984 but it certainly appears to be a 1985 model. BTW, welcome to the forums.
