I NEED HELP TO IDENTIFICATE THIS PINARELLO

[Monbike]

Not sure if you still need help, but Richard Wade knows more about Pinarello than anyone (including people who worked there). You can find him in the Vintage Pinarello Road Bicycles - Retro / Eroica group on Facebook, though he is busy and gets a lot of requests for frame info.

Thanku very much!!

Your Pinarello looks like a late 1970's model . It has been repainted and top tube brake cable braze ons added . The stand out thing for me that makes it look older is the way the rear brake bridge has been fabricated with a plain tube and washer brazed on . I am definitely no Pinarello expert but cannot see it being newer than 1980 .

Hi all. Sorry to reactivate this thread, but a similar query here. I picked up this Pinarello frame recently, and it would be good to identify. The seller did not have accurate info on either the frame or components.
The bike has been well used, and unfortunately seems most of the higher grade components have been swapped out with cheaper Campag/Shimano mix sometime in the 90s.
Key identifiers I see (but I am noooo expert):
- chainstay bridge - hence not Montello
- integrated cabling (but only on top tube, not down tube), which suggests Prestige S with KL tubing (but no downtube cabling…), or could be Super Record version with internal cabling on top tube (I haven’t come across this…)
- the serial number seems to suggest ‘82/‘83 based on some previous comments I saw?
… any more ideas from you experts? It’s like a puzzle where each time you think you have an answer, you find another detail that reopens the mystery…

some photos attached. I can add more.
