The chain stays are perfect, of course.
Most every place else shows some signs of brush marks if you look close enough, but IMO it looks polished from three feet away.
This is the worst of it.
It was stripped when I got it. Here's a "before" shot of the seat cluster showing the trace of original paint.

It seems like fully stripped Montellos are fairly common, so I wonder if maybe they did have a problem with flaking paint on some production runs. I would have been tempted to say mine could have started life chromovelato except that there were traces of red paint inside the seat tube (before I had the lugs painted).
My wife has a Veneto Donna with Spumone colour sheme. the seat stays are full chrome with high mirror-like quality. From brake bridge to sp lug are on paint. It isn't cromovelato but is incredibly sensitive to any small physical contact. From that I think the real chromovelato really feels safe himself on the wall of the garage.

I think it's supposed to be a flower, but I could be wrong.

^ I always thought it was a bird...a very abstract bird.
I found this Pinarello catalog - any estimates of the year? At first glance it's similar to the '89 catalog, but there are a few subtle differences and models on offer:

Edit: also appears on the Retrobike.co.uk archive which notes it as being from 1990: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/...Pina/Cat/1990/

Good find P!N20, the Treviso offerings are interesting in particular. If this is a 1990 catalogue then we are a little closure to figuring out when the cables went internal for the Treviso.

I picked up a Pinarello from a seller in the Kansas City area, don't even have it yet. I started a separate thread with some photos, here is a link to that thread: https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...pinarello.html

Thanks! The Veneto I found as a frame at an estate sale in rural Maine. The serial numbers are a little hard to read but I can clearly make out '719', and then I believe there is a space, and then an 'H'. The 'H' is under a big chip in the paint so it's hard to tell what it is, could easily be something else. I think it is >'90 because of the sticker in the second picture. This bike could have been repainted I , but I don't think so because the decals are shredding in the way that original Pinarello decals are known to, and if it was aftermarket then I imagine they would be stickers.
Also the head tube badge on yours is from the '89 version.

My Pinarello arrived on Friday. I unpacked it and assembled it. Checked the shifting, brakes, BB, and headset, all looked good and the only adjustment needed was the front brake.

More photos. BTW, I picked up a set of Campy GS crank bolt covers - these are not Campy covers.

^ Very nice. I love Pinarello's older style fork crowns.
Some gumwall tires would really look good on this, not to mention a more vintage/classic saddle - white Concor Supercorsa to match the bar tape?

I like the fork crowns too. Right now, I'm partial to the SA saddles, and I'm considering a white saddle. The tires are pretty new, but I do have some nice gumwalls that may go on next.

Banned.
Quite sorry for the lousy pics and lighting. A photographer, I am not. I don't even like having my picture taken.
1985 Pinarello Record, based on the '85 catalog.
I very rarely buy a bike that is already built, but I did here.
Only change I've made: 70mm stem to fit, swapped Daytona calipers for Centaur, and added those Campy pedals.
I like it.
Centaur Ergo's, FD, RD, Crankset, calipers
Record hubs, Chorus cassette.
H+Son TB14 rims, Vittoria tires,
Chorus post, SSM Regal saddle,
Cinelli steering, Fizik Wrap.
I have a C-Record aero bottle and cage for it, but they look "blocky" on this bike.
Long-cage RD makes me think about a new Centaur 12-30 cassette, but I have other climbers.
Thanks for looking. This is from @The Thin Man, but now, it's a matter of prying my cold, dead fingers..... YaknowwhatImean?
