Pinarello Asolo

[rw229]

I just picked this up on a semi-impulse and I'm having a heck of a time finding info on this frameset and tubing. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I believe this is a late 1990's frame, possibly 1997 if one can go by the last two digits of the serial number.

Dedacciai Dolmen tubes are proprietary to Pinarello and roughly equivalent to Columbus ?, SL?

How about geometry? I’m hoping for more of a long distance bike rather than a “must pay attention at all times” bike.

Also, any recommendations on a build up? I was thinking older Chorus or new Centaur alloy, but not sure on the wheels and other details.

googled Pinarello Osolo and came up with this linkhttp://forums.roadbikereview.com/showthread.php?t=58559 there are some brochures.

I just (a few hours ago) picked up a complete original and authentic (1st owner) pinarello asolo with dolmen tubing.

According to the owner he bought it around 93

Full campy athena 8 speed.

I too have a hard time finding the quality level of this tubeset.

So i follow this with interest.

Sorry that i can't give any more useful info.
