Dog temple ...If that is mint for a pinarello i think I am a lucky man bought a restored red montello slx in red from a guy in Scotland he imported 2003 originally from Ireland possibly originating from ciclisports the first importers of pinarello in Ireland, bike frame is beautiful minimal decal deterioration and the previous owner restored not frame but replaced parts with new old stock campagnolo, it's a stunning bike and rides like a dream. That bike has close ratio, so I am going with more range on the yellow pinarello for those hills..I am interested how they fare against each other in feel and ride....I have to say these bikes are so well engineered works of art and I am hooked ;-)

Preserve decals? Clear coat the lot? Seal it in as is?
What happens if I leave, the bike stays in the dry?

Phase 2 of the build ....come on wheels :-)

Thanks guys i have cleaned up paintwork with a gentle t cut and agree the patina looks good and the decals a bit of honest charm so will leave as is. I have assembled fork chorus headset, veloce crank and Athena brakes and rear derailleur. Using Campag white cables and decided to use Athena original ergo levers but having serviced by a Campag service centre
White tape, white San Marco seat, blue rimmed tyres on mavic silver open pros and I am done. Will upload once finished and thanks for the advice from all
Sorry my replies were a touch late

Close up view of flakey decals

Here goes images for appraisal the decals have a little rough edge to flaking in some areas in a quandary weather to leave and preserve or remove and renew?

Keep patina v sympathetic replacement without damage to frame as I like the patina of the paintwork

Thx

I have purchased a pinarello pantograph stelvio from Italy and in a quandary on weather to hunt down some dark blue decals and replace Or keep to the true patina? if the latter can I preserve/prevent further cracking and flaking

Also is removal of old decals hard?

Any guidance will be appreciated

A solo were also offered with shimano 105 group set my wife's in black / chrome model I thought it would naturally have campag. But after viewing catalogues saw shimano group set on even very high end models
I have a montello slx which has old stock new centaur shifters, record crank, centaur deraileur, on Marvic open pro, record hubs, it kicks and my view is sympathetic restoration but create a useable that gives you fun. Shimano 105 is a great group set the quality shows ... I am considering converting down tube shifters to a suitable ergo lever equivalent in shimano on wife's bike

Like it if in doubt hit it with a hammer, ;-)
nice bike I have a montellox slx in red, brilliant ride, love it same seat saw seat San Marco

Very nice job love the paint finish , just about to build up my pantograph stelvio frame .... Not much history on these frames searched hi and Lo on the Internet anyone know off a good resource to research this model, catalogues?
