Pinarello Montello Back From Cyclart.
My 1987 Montello is back with new paint scheme and decals.
This their Cat 1 finish. Pics are with the original chrome fork
and with the carbon fork I plan on using.

Beautiful! Could you get some detail shots of the stays and lugs for us?

I think CyclArt did a good job with your frame. It looks very nice. Hopefully they clear-coated it. I recognize the before picture only too well. One of my mid-80's Pinarellos had those quick-release decals, too. I don't know why, but it seems like of all the mid-80's Italian bikes I've owned or seen, Pinarello's decals peeled off the easiest.

+2. I love modern technology as much as anyone, but it would be a crime against nature to not use the chrome fork. It looks better, will give you as comfortable ride as CF, and doesn't weigh that much more.
But either way, the bike came out very, very nice.

Add me to the list of folks giving unasked-for advice to keep the steel fork.
The frame is gorgeous, though.

Another vote for the chrome fork...but then, I am biased.

For safety reasons, I also vote for the steel fork.

For those who ask, yes, this is a clear-coated finish.

After 4-1/2 years, mine show no signs of peeling.

The logos on my Montello won't ever peel either.

Shouldn't cost you anything. They've touched up or repainted 4 of my frames. I've always asked them up front not to put their logo on it and they've always honored my request.

Looks really good. I too replaced a cro mo fork w/ a carbon, however, I did so for only one season before putting the cro mo one back on.
I reinstated the steel one, as it looks much better (to me) and gives a distinctive ride---although there is a little more "road buzz" attached to it. I guess one either likes this buzz or not.

And goes with the rest of the look of the bike I'm going for.
What do you mean by "paintjob transfer"?
Looks good up close too but can't post 2meg pics here.

Looks like glass and can't feel the decals.

Yes it was your beautiful Montello that inspired me to strip the old paint on mine to find they had sandblasted it at the factory 20 years ago. I think I found this forum with a search for OLD PINARELLOS where I found pics of yours.
Mean meaning to contact you again. I notice on yours that the brake cable runs straight into the top tube?
Mine always had to use some ferules or the cablehousing would be sucked into the tube.
What did you use on yours ?
