Thanks for your ideas - well whatever it is I'm almost sure it's not fake because the photo you're looking at is not my photo but one I found on the net...
I have the same (exact) frame, decals and all so I know at least there are 2 in world which pretty much eliminates the idea it's "fake" fake..
- a bit to "close" for a fake - time, materials, quality.. lot of effort for a fake...
The tubes are low end Oria special tt0.9... but it has Gipiemme dropouts and came with a nice 90's campy headset...
the search continues...
once decal says "Ditour".. strange? same as in the photo back decal says "Sobol"
What's this "Razesa" business? a Pinarello offshoot?...
I brought it hoping it was Pinarello but assumed it was at the very least Italian and from the right time and size ; )
Serial is 00*** with forks that match that serial.. lugs seems really nice and clean..
Anyone experience with real BANESTO serials of the time? 5 digits starting 00
Big question is: Does anybody know if Pinarello ever built frames and deliberately left off their markings due to sponsorship/legal issues? ... and anywhere you can trace serial numbers by brand?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks for the responses already up!
Cheers,
A

Hi There,
Could anybody tell me if they think this team"BANESTO" is a Pinarello replica or not?
http://veloscorsa.wordpress.com/2010/03/05/banesto/
It's not marked as one but the tubing is Italian Oria 0.9 and the BB is 170mm + it's almost identical apart from the lack of Pinarello engravings... serial starts 00... with matching chrome fork .... any ideas please?
Cheers,
Amazing stuff!
