Pinarello Team Telekom
Hello everyone
I am trying to asses the quality value of these Pinarello.
I know that team telekom was a famous German competitive team in the Grand Tours,
but with my limited experience from the photos I cannot learn anything about the model and or frame.
Owner's claiming that these are in a good condition but no description and no info on the geartrain.
Since I cannot find any similar paint job as this on google images I'm worried it's some kind of a German artistic endeavor.
Your assistance would be appreciated
Thank you !

Painted to look somewhat like a Team Telekom. Appears to have Simplex derailleurs. Low end swaged crankset (Solida?). CLB brakeset. Either it's a disguised French bicycle or used a French donor bicycle. I don't see any of the typical Pinarello embossings or cutouts. Looks mid-1980s, upper entry level, a lot like a European market Peugeot PH10.

Note also the crank is a triple and that the chain is far far too short.

Also if you look close the pink paint looks to be rattle caned over the original dark paint and the art is poorly stencilled the size and font look wrong. As presented I would say it's definetley not a team bike and not even a Pinerello. As for value mystery lesser mid level bike in semi rough shape with bad fake paint only worth $150 or so tops, myself I wouldn't buy this bike if it was offered for less than $100.
