Hello everyone,
I need help identifying a Pinarello frame that I recently bought and plan to restore. (for the first time)
From what I've found online, it is likely either a Treviso Catena Lusso or Italia. Based on the Pinarello catalog from '82 and the seatpost sticker, I lean towards Italia.
Is it possible that the color is original, similar to the Super Record Special from the same catalog?
As far as I've seen, the entire frame is chrome under the paint. The BB number is 649, dropouts pinarello..
Regarding the stickers, there is a residue from "tretubi" on the tube, and I would appreciate your opinions on the rest of them.(golden edge front tube logo..found the same in velobase.com https://velobase.com/ListHeadBadges....3-c0d788f7eaaa
( "A Pinarello head badge decal from the 80ies ".)
Thank you!

I'd agree with your assessment of it being an Italia and most likely original paint.

Cool Columbus decals on the fork - wondering if they could pin point the date?

They must have made their decals a lot tougher back then, Pinarellos are famous for their decals flaking off. Or is there a clear coat?

Love the palmares decal - most likely original so that sets the earliest date.

Wasn't aware they did gold headtube decals - very cool.

thx for the post P!N20..right now the frame isn't with me, I'll post when I find out something about the clear coat. I can't find info about this triangular design anywhere, except Cyclomondo new stickers

Most likely had been re-decalled. Pinarello decals were flaking off their bikes till into the early 90's. None of their bikes thrpughout the 80's was immune to the decal flaking problems unless the bike had never seen the light of day in some basement and attic and never ridden. The decals pretty much flaked off if literally you just breath on them.

They may be new..
On the other hand....the frame is not in front of me, but looking at the pictures the higlit of the decal match the one of the frame...meaning the clearcoat is over the original paint and decal( if the paint is original)
