Serial no's matched actual factory produced frames.

Those slippery gypsies!

So to the naked eye, its a pinarello then

Fake, check the seat tube. It says "Toravca" and not "Torayca".

I think the frame is between 3-4 years old!

 

This was the 2009 royal blue colour scheme

The black on the top tube of your pic would appear to stretch further from the seatpost to the front I would love to see if that pic of yours has the pinarello logo in front

[Reg Lizard]

I am beginning to think that this is a legit fake Chinarello

[gummibear]

Is this real or a copy?

back to the Chinarello...why would the pinarello logo not be on the front tube of the frame? has anyone seen pinarellos that do not have this?

[Asterix]

simplest way to check BB as follows:

 

pinarellos : Italian thread.

Chinarello: English thread.

back to the Chinarello...why would the pinarello logo not be on the front tube of the frame? has anyone seen pinarellos that do not have this?

 

What's the seller wanting for it?

What's the seller wanting for it?

The frame has already been purchased by a relative, who actually does not care whether it is a pinarello or a chinarello. He just wants a bike to ride and btw he got the frame for next to nothing...

My thinking is that he got a bargain.
