1994 Pinarello Cyclocross
I recently purchased what is apparently a 94 pinarello cross frame,it has been powder coated because the priginal state was too tarnished says the original owner(I would have prefered the patina!) But I have trouble finding this bike when I look it up. Does anyone have any knowledge of such a bicycle?its definately a cross frame due to the cantilever mounts,I just can't find it anywhere though.iany information on such a make/model would be greatly appreciated.

I might be able to help.
I put a couple of miles on one of these.
Oh btw, welcome to the forums!

Flickr and Photobucket are other options.

Sorry all I have are these suggestive photos .I took them with my girlfriends ,iphone the other day because my phone lens is so scratched its hopeless to get a clear shot...she's not around right now otherwise id takr more straightforward pics.. the bike is equipped with a 48/39 chainrings and an 8 speed campy cassette with gears 26/13..the cranks look like c record but they have that metallic paint opposed to polished,so I'm thrown off all around

Not C-Record, looks like Athena or something low end. Too bad about the paint, kills the value but ride it and enjoy it, I am sure it is a fun bike.

It was a CL find and fairly inexpensive.
It had all tri color 600 and was painted a very loud electric green.
It was super comfortable and fun. Unfortunately, I was pretty rough with it and eventually cracked the cluster in three spots going off a small ledge on a local trail.
If I had your bike, I would put on some multi purpose tires like Challenge Almanzos.
.....and then ride the daylights out of it.
Have fun!
