Looks like a Montello, later one, say 1990?

Not 1982?))

Definitely not. I don't think they started making the Montello until 1984. The logo above the shifter bosses was the first thing that made me think 90's. The serial number is also a later format. In the 80's the Montello would have had a serial number starting with two letters (the same two, I think). For instance, mine is NN902.

I'm not convinced it's a Montello. Those usually had chrome seat stays. It could be a Gavia or something else. A picture of the bottom bracket looking down from the top might be helpful. A picture of the rear dropouts would also confirm the 90's dating if they are stamped "Pinarello" and not "Brev. Campagnolo". Does it have internal brake cable routing?

Edit: I see that the 1990 catalog shows the Montello with painted seat stays.

OK, that does have all the marks I would look for in a Montello.

There should also be five ridges inside the base of the seat tube, indicating Columbus SLX tubing.

Thanks for your help friends!!
Montello its very good news. But what about year? No chance??

1990 has been mentioned a couple of times. I doubt you’ll get a definitive estimate.

I keep coming back to this decal/sticker. I feel sure that I've seen it, but I can't find it anywhere. Maybe it just looks like something else I've seen. It may or may not be a clue to the year.

The brake bridge might also help. I think it's a standard piece. I've got one that's a lot like it, if not the same, on a 1997 Maschiagi-built Coppi.



I'm not sure the Montello model was still being made in 1997, but this bridge was probably made earlier. If someone (maybe @Juvella) knows what it is and when they started making them, that might give you a lower limit on the year.

Seemed to pop up in the early 90's, replaced the palmares decal that was located between the downtube shifters.

1992 Asolo:

Another Asolo, no year given:



The latter has a similar brake bridge to the OP's: https://www.thehackneypeddler.co.uk/...lue-black-56cm

Yet it has the older 1010B dropouts...talk about confusing!

Ah, here's a 1992 Montello with the same brake bridge, dropouts and downtube decal:

When I was trying to ID my Montello, T-mar contributed a bunch of info:

I've read several places since then that European Montellos were different, some having SL rather than SLX tubing!
