A scruffy Italian -- '89 Pinarello Montello Mavic build
I scored this Pin a couple years ago in one of my greatest finds. An honest, ridden-and-loved example. After riding it for a few weeks, it suffered a classic ~1mm handlebar swing ding. Naturally, I was horrified and put it into storage. When I found it, the Mavic cockpit/post/cranks were already there along with the wheels. Somewhere over the past year, (I really don't remember when) I spent nearly what the bike cost me for a Mavic drivetrain. Now all I need is brake calipers and that &*^%$ rear derailleur washer.
Suggestions on rear derailleur housing? It looks like a fairly short, tight curve will be needed from the housing stop and the Mavic RD, would Campy wound housing be correct for a late '80s bike?
I know the request comes around every few months, but anyone holding a derailleur washer?

Looking at the Pinarello catalogs, wound housing wasn't included for the '87 model year, and by the look of it your Montello is ~'89? So technically it's probably not period correct, but I say if you like it, go for it!

I use Campy's wound SS RD cable housing on almost all my C&V builds, even for my bikes from the late 80's because it just looks really kewhl.....😎

Oooo, bladed spokes, of an era.
I have a set of wheels with, actually almost two sets. The fully built set has Nisi Mixer rims, the front is damaged, in shipping the brake track on one side got damaged… terrible pulsation.
solo Mixer rims have silly asking prices.
