Congratulations on the magnificent restoration. Excellent assembly of this mythical Pinarello with the famous Shimano 600 (predecessor of Ultegra) with high quality. It's incredible how the beauty of this road bike model fits right in with this group. Magnificent and beautiful road bike! Hugs from this Brazilian vintage road bike enthusiast.
Great build. Love the Shimano 600 group. I have a couple sets of this group in my inventory but have pretty much rebuilt my vintage bikes with modern groups due to the wider gearing I need these days. I swapped out my 7400 Dura-Ace on my 1989 Pinarello Montello for an 11-speed Athena group. It is now in my weekly rotation with my other modern bikes and vintage bikes with modern groups and gets ridden, rather than a wall-hanger for most of the year (or in my case ceiling). I've got vintage mid-80s Miyatas, a Pro, and 2 Teams, with Dura-Ace AX and EX & AX, and they are neat to ride and relive old memories but I would not want to ride them seriously on the hills where I live. I have a Zullo and Tesch both running Campy 11-speed and a Picchio that is being refurbished as I write. The Picchio will get an 11/12-speed Super Record group and will definitely be a daily rider. If I had gone with a period build, it would again be a wall-hanger for most of the year.
The big chainring on the crankset should be rotated 3 positions clockwise so that the small pin at the top of the chainring sits behind the crankarm. This is to prevent the chain from getting stuck between the crankarm and the chainring if it becomes derailed
Having grown up and raced in the 80s and 90s, this handlebar and brake level setup was the correct setup for the time. Remember, these are not brake/control levers. What we now are used to does not equate to anything back in the day. Handlebars were a lot narrower than now and you didn't spend the day on your saddle with the brake levers as an extension of your wrist. You were either in the drops or rode the flat section of the bar, not the curves. When you did want to have your hands on the brake levers and you weren't in the drops, you either came at them over the top of the bars (not comfortable for a long period) or from the sides, since the bars were narrow. Either way, nobody generally rode holding onto the brake levers unless you needed to be on the brake, like riding in a pack or taking some curves and again not in the drops. I rarely rode the brake levers as I found it more comfortable for my hands on the drops, actuating the levers as needed, and could quickly move my hands to the downtube shifters. Different time than today and the current setup with the modern shift/brake controllers.
@@jamesdelgado2009 I actually hate the look of such bars so much that i actually threw it away when I got it and it was the first thing I replace with a modern compact bar. Before that I was so disgusted looking at it let alone riding that I didn't even want anything to do with it. It now has the stem,bar and brake lever in a seamless line parallel to the ground
Having had 1000s of frames pass through my hands, I don't see any tell tale signs of a repaint, in any of the usual spots, like the rear drop outs, shifter bosses or around the bottom bracket. Also the decals are flaking off. If it was repainted, newer reproduction decals would have been applied and they would be properly intact.

I owned a 60s Pinarello all chrome frame, Campy , prison built bike. One of the best.

Thanks for the tip man, will get that sorted.
Great job!
AMAZING!
This bike looks so cool :)
Thank you, and Thanks for watching!
My favorite Shimano groupset.
But I prefer the model before with the center bolt brake caliper.
Super!

What colour is this?
perche questi gioielli una volta che la smontate non gli mettete guarnitura e cerchi moderni ? penso sia piu bella e accattivante io l ho fatta cosi
Looks uncomfortable to ride on the hoods on those old bars. Would have to cock your wrists forward a lot
Used to race with those bars and levers in the same position didn’t feel uncomfortable anyway it’s a racing bike not a tourer
@@Tarmaccyclocross modern compact bars would look better too

To me this frame looks like repaint.
Having had 1000s of frames pass through my hands, I don't see any tell tale signs of a repaint, in any of the usual spots, like the rear drop outs, shifter bosses or around the bottom bracket.
