This was a one-owner frameset before I bought it. This frame is a Pinarello
Stelvio, hand-built in the Pinarello frame factory in Treviso, Italy. The frame
measures 55.5cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the center of the top
tube with a 55.5cm top tube.
This lugged frame is made from Dedacciai Dolmen steel tubing custom made to
Pinarello's exacting specifications. The frame is painted metallic black with
silver decals and chromed right chain stay. The entire bike looks as if it may
be completely chromed underneath the paint. The threaded fork is painted to
match the frame, with a pantographed chromed fork crown. Pinarello pantographing
is also found on the bottom head tube lug, seat tube lug, bottom of bottom
bracket shell, brake bridge, and fork crown.
This frame has two sets of water bottle bosses, braze-on front derailleur tab,
rear brake cable routed internally inside the top tube, pump peg, and metal
headtube badge. The rear dropouts are adjustable (adjusting screws not included)
and measure 128mm wide and the head tube measures 142mm.
This bike was well cared for and maintained, but it does have paint chips (most
touched up) that would be expected of a frame of this vintage that has been
ridden and shipped. It also has some chips to the decals that identifies it as a
genuine Pinarello ;-) The chromed right chainstay has some peppering on the top
of it, likely from a dropped chain. The outside of the chromed fork crown shines
very nicely. The underside of the fork crown has some corrosion, but this is
something I often find on used bikes with chromed forks.
The included Shimano Dura Ace headset looks to have a split in the crown race,
noticeable to me only because of how bright the chrome of the fork crown is and
how it reflected the bottom of the headset in the mirror-like finish! The frame
and fork have been completely treated inside the tubes with Weigle Frame Saver
rust prevention spray.
$395 picked up in McAlester. Pictures available hopefully tomorrow evening if it
doesn't rain...again!
Have a safe and happy 4th!
