I remember that bike. It hung at Il Vecchio's for a few years before
the distributor wanted it back. Nice bike indeed. First triple? Makes
me smile.

I don't know why F.Pinarello would make that claim about the first modern
triple, and i won't venture a guess. However, I though that this Battaglin
Pinarello in question was made out of KL tubing and Not SL as F.P. is claiming.
Somebodie's memory is not quite what it could be, but it might even be mine.
