Bought my first Italian... Pinarello!
I was browsing ebay and this one caught my eye. Looks like late 80's/early 90's. I don't know a whole lot about the Pinarellos, but I love this color. Probably gonna replace the seat and ride it the way it is, or I may throw a Campy record group on it. It's the Veneto model... Does anyone know what tubeset they used on these?

Nice find! I suspect at least the main triangle is double-butted CrMo, probably Columbus. If it is, the seatpost diameter should be 27.0 or 27.2mm. I do not know whether mixed tubeset frames were still popular on mid-level bikes of that era.
