There was very little corrosion evident once the cranks were off, and the tapers were covered in PB Blaster so I couldn't tell if they were assembled dry or not. On the positive, they weren't going to come loose without something dramatic happening. I guess you'd have to say that the install was properly done from that perspective. Once the TdF stage is complete, I'll take the BB out and get the frame/fork cleaned up and ready for paint.

I ordered some white paint markers for the Pinarello (Uni Posca extra-fine) but they're coming from Japan, so won't have them for a little while. Hopefully they will work well for the panto on the Pinarello. I need to service the hubs, install pedals, and set up the cockpit - then the Pinarello will be ready for a maiden voyage.
