Pinarello Montello SLX 60cm ST, 58cm TT
£180
Got just the frame off a guy who bought it in 1991, found a matching fork which might be SL rather than SLX. The fork is slightly too big for the frame, runs fine with a couple of spacers, and not as extreme as the picture suggests as it's seen without a headset.
Some chrome pitting on the fork, especially underneath, tiny bit on the seatstay. Original paint, chips on the top tube, especially on the drive side, paint loss on the rear where I slammed the wheel in too tight and a line of paint got stripped (picture included). The clearances are tight.
It has Pinarello pantographed bb shell, dropouts, fork crown, seatube lug. Internal top tube cable routing. Scratch to the drive side chain stay where the chain came off, picture included.
Beautiful frame but it was always a couple of centimetres too small for me and I've got something bigger. Can probably included a set of replacement downtube decals, the ones I initially put on were a faulty batch from velocals, and they sent me some to replace these, but I have not yet replaced them. Campag seatpost bolt not included.
