I have just picked up a Stelvio, but can't find much information about them.
It is made of Pinarello Kens tubing, has no chainstay bridge, has the chrome 'shoulders' on the forks, a chromed right chainstay but no other chrome on frame, and doesn't appear to have a frame number.
Questions - so many questions!
What years were they made?
Which year is mine?
Where did the Stelvio sit in the line-up?
How good is Kens tubing - equivalent to what? I've heard Columbus EL OS?
Did the Banesto team ride bikes made of Kens tubing?
Is it normal to have braze-ons (riv nuts) for the down tube bottle bolts, but in-built threads for the seat tube?
Any help/advice/information appreciated.
