1980 or 81 Pinarello pista

Some people asked me to be more active here instead of just coming here to sell the bikes frames and or parts i dont want to keep in my collection.
And to avoid to give a wrong impression that i am only doing this for the money then think twice.
Just like many others here im just a guy with allot of passion and dedication , i just happen to keep on finding gems :)
So here we go another project im working on
.
.
A couple of weeks ago i found this repainted Pinarello pista.
Which has been repainted at some stage, you can see on the pictures the original paintjob was pink.
I will try to remove the black and yellow paintjob and see if i can restore the frame back in original state. I really love to find this hidden treasures, since i found 2 years ago a similair Pinarello pista in pearl white it was pretty easy to see the similarity on the frameset dispite the bad pictures in the advert.
56 center center
57,5 center top

Headset: Gipiemme pista

More Info:
To be continued.

Very little chance the factory will give you an accurate answer.
I asked about a Treviso I had a while back - factory said between 1972 and 1984...

Yeah i also contacted the factory, but that was not a succes , new people no idea of the old bikes and not really helpfull to point in a right direction

@saarf its a total shame.

There is a bit more paint coming off than i wanted 😂

Did you apply the paint stripper and then saran wrap the whole thing? Does it speed up the process?

Well you know it was pink/purple at least :)

Hey man, yes i did this all went down in less than 10hours.
