Alexi Grewal won at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles on a Montello...
One of the best frames of the 1980's as shown by wins at the 1984 Olympic Road Race, Vuelta di Spagna, the Giro d’Italia and various stages of the Tour de France.

...what should I say...? - The bike is completely restored.
New paint in Pinarello "Bordeaux", decals bought on eBay, fork is rechromed
and some parts are chromed (Stem and Seat Post).

...it is like I always thought it might be!

Compare ref.:

Note:
On picture four you can see the ultra rare 1st gen. C-Record Delta Brake with
engraved logo which was phased out by Campagnolo caused by some technical
problems. Please compare with the Pinarello Cat. 1985 - Picture of the bike where these brakes are pictured.

Pinarello

Veman,
This is pure bicycle poetry....what a beaty!!!!

question for you

I am putting the finishing touches to my Montello build. I was wondering if you used the proper cable housing end caps for the internal top tube cable routing for the rear brake? If so do you know where to get them or a suitable substitute? Thanks.

...suitable substitute

The matching end caps were on the frame when I bought the unrestored frame as a bike. But you can use the end caps of the rear derailleur cable which is normally used on the frame side. These can still be bought in any bike shop.

answer

Thanks for your reply. I will try it. I just rode the Pinarello for a long fast stretch for the first time by the lake ontario and the feeling of this frame at high speeds is incredible.
Thanks for your help!

the ride

Hi, how does this montello ride compared to your other Pinarello.
Just out of curiosity...

anyways, extraordinary job!

How to compare bikes with different setups?

The Setup for the Pinarello Super Record Special (SRS) I've chosen is intended for long distance rides.
Compared with my length (183 cm) and the length of my legs measured at the inner side (89 cm) the frame is large (c-t seat tube 60cm) and the stem short (105mm).
From spring until autumn I use to ride every weekend round about 250Km with this bike and sometimes with the Colnago Super.
My average speed is 27 Km/h (spring) to 31 Km/h (autumn) on a 100 Km distance. The Setup of the bike is comfortable.

Of quite a different nature is the setup of the Montello. I build the bike with the intention to achieve high speed.
I’ve chosen for my size a small frame (c-t seat tube 58,3 cm) and a long Stem (120 mm).
You can see on picture 2 that the stamped minimum insertion limit of the seat post is not completely inserted into the seat tube…
This setup supports very high pedal frequencies’.
On the plain the maximum speed is ca. 51 Km/h for 3 to 4 Km with my fastest wheel set (Mavic SSC with Campa. freewheel).
I’m round about 5 Km/h faster with this setup. But on this bike the wheelbase is shorter and relatively the centre of mass is higher than on the SRS.
The bike is quicker responding to body moves and to steering.
This setup is more strenuous\arduous and not forgiving a bad style...

It is difficult to decide which qualities are resulting by the setup and which by the frames themself…

…my judgment:
The SL Frame is stiffer, slightly heavier and more relaxed.
The SLX is quicker responding, stiff enough and faster…

Setups and SL/SLX

I second Zephyrus on the SL/SLX difference, though I go the opposite for racing the SLX (larger) and longer rides on the SL (smaller). Just the way I prefer it, but he's dead on about the Montello. I couldn't describe it better, so I won't try. The bike's character is basically: go fast, hurt, get over it, go do it again.

Fhakken..

MINT!!

Bottom Bracket for C-Record Cranks

I just got a C-reocrd Crank set and now I am looking for a compatible BB. Do you know what spindle length i need(i hear 111m)? I also hear campy changed there taper after 1993 so new campy BB won't fit. Any help would be awesome.
Damian

axle length for C-Record

Road or Track Double Crankset 109mm length
(SP 65; SP or SS 68; SP or SS 70 )

Road Triple Crankset 112 and / or 113mm length
(SS 68 or SS 70)

65, 68, 70 indicates the bb width of the frame in millimeter.

Never heard somthing about a chagne of the taper... sorry.

Zephyrus - ...may the lucky wind be with you!

compare:
CAMPAGNOLO-C-RECORD-B-BRACKET-SET-NOS

...you need italian threaded cups if you want to use it with your montello

Classic!!

1st gen. delta C-Record

and more for break callipers intended to use and ride...(?)

Zephyrus

Great restoration

We were waiting for this, and it's great. Great overall quality.
I hope I can get one close to this condition someday.

How many Pinarellos is that for you?

Thanks for the great pics, keeping a fine bike in play.

Awesome bike Awesome components!

Nice Bike! did you get the stem and crankset chromed or where they purchased in that condition?

Chroming...

Having bought the parts and removed the original surface which
had been coated by an anodic oxidation treatment by camapagnolo
and having a lot of scratches I polished the parts and had them chromed.
I finally recut and trimmed the threads.

Zephyrus

chroming

so you removed the coat by sanding with fine grit and repolished, sanding,buffing?

chroming (III)

I removed the coat on unobtrusive scratched parts with a buffing machine.
For deep marks like they were on the stem I used very fine sand paper
(180 & 250) and polished the stem after sanding.

I let the surface untouched on NOS parts like the seat post etc…

Now the entire new chromed surface on all parts is like a mirror.

that makes sense

I would have supposed you used unicorn tears to polish the bits.
