My totally personal opinion was that they were very good and nice bikes up until about 1985 when Giovanni had a bad car accident. The latter part of the 80's had bikes that were still nice but not quite as crisp. The 90's brought in bikes that were much more industrialized. Fausto Pinarello wanted to capitalize on the fact that Pinarello bikes were used to win 7 straight Tour de Frances.
