All original equipment with nifty Pinarello pantographed stem, seat post, shifters, etc.
the decals are starting to go - but this apparently is typical of a this era Pinarello.
it is over all in very very good condition

Peter,

I have 2 issues with the bike (maybe only 1)

1. Galli brakes. Whenever I see non-uniform groups it leads me to closely inspect all of the other components. Over the years several companies have made very good Campy look alikes. Are the pedals Campy? What about the hubs?

2. It appears someone stripped the fork of its blue paint to reveal the chrome underneath. This has the potential of being a big deal because most companies didnt fully finish the chrome work that was going to be painted over. In most cases its not fully polished.

This does not look right. See the un-evenness of the paint line and the chrome scratching? Its almost like someone stripped the paint from the fork while cutting around the fork decal and trying to leave the rown outlined at the same time.

Wow! great eye.
I'll have to have another look at that fork and revert.
thanks

Hello all again.

I wanted to come back to the observation earlier about the forks having maybe been stripped.

I asked the seller about it and here's a rough translation of his reply:

"as for the paint work at the top of the forks, they are orignal (the frame was delivered that way). In fact it is the same on another frame that I own from the same period (see the attached photos).
as for the Galli brakes, the basic frame was purchased by my father who built it up himself. He preferred Galli brakes to Campa simply because he found Campa to expensive"

So there you go.

and it does seem to be true that this idea of religious adherence to a single series of components is something of a recent concept.
At the No Click Cycling Club (Pre-1983) meeting I attend each month in Toronto they are constantly talking about the Olden Days when everyone (and they mean EVERYONE - you just didn't buy complete bikes) bought a bare frame and then built it up themselves with their own choice of components.

Just to add another data point:



From this Flicker page: Chrome Pinarello forks

That's a sweet bike. The first gen. Super Record rear derailleur is really nice to have. And check out the photo of the top tube decal and note how beautifully thinned that long-point lug is - very nice! Pinarellos from that era aren't common, and they're generally very well built. Many Italian builders went to shorter-point (cast) lugs not long after this one was built.

if Stien is getting the blue one for $100, I'll give you $150 for the red one if it is a 59 or 60

Peter, I think its safe to assume the fork is correct. So.....in regards to price.

Vintage prices have been all over the map, I've seen a wide gaps in both components and framesets. Its seems as if there's a price for 9/10+ condition items, 7-8/10 condition, 3-6/10 and then the junk. in the past it didnt seem like there were so many divisions. 9/10+ parts go for big money and then there's a huge drop to the 7/8 parts.

That being said, on Ebay, with a well written ad and proper photographs I'd estimate its value in the $1500 range.

The seller has had it listed in Toronto for $1500 for a month or so and it is now listed at $1250
