It's for the serious track athlete; less aero drag if the drivetrain is on the inside of the curves (vs. the outside). Great for your next 1 hour record attempt.

Well, after someone jammed a 130mm rear 8 speed hub into a 126mm aluminum rear triangle, I would not trust the back half of the frame either. Maybe the seat tube and the dropouts are good.

Probably late 80's and Columbus SL. I'd venture it's worth more as classic steel than aluminum, or if the fork was original which I doubt it is. Not many Pinarello fork set up for fenders and racks.

Anything "high-end" that is eligible to ride in an Eroica commands a premium these days. Columbus SLX and Dura Ace are pretty high end for the period. All it needs is new brake levers.
