Hello,
I've recently acquired a road bike frame off eBay. It has Pinarello decals, and it looks quite similar to Pinarellos of the 80s... but the closer you look, the more it lacks little details that are typical of Pinarellos you see around the net. For example, it lacks some of the touches such as the P graphic on the fork crowns or the top of the seat stays, the dropouts look different and so on. The biggest oddity I can see is that it has mudguard eyelets, which I've never seen on any other Pinarellos online.
Does this look like a genuine Pinarello? Perhaps it is a fake? Or perhaps it's a less well known lower spec model?
Thanks
