Wayne,

You're soooo right! While Steven Maasland was selling all those pinarello's at BicycleSport in the Early 80's, I remember joking at the Bikesmiths, where I worked, how Pinarello had invented the worlds first Quick Release decal kit!!

Most frames were not clear-coated, so decals often are chipped and scratched, or missing altogether. I guess what I'm getting at is that older Pinarellos are often kind of rough looking, and therefore maybe don't command as much interest.
