Nice frame, one of the marquee names, you will always be cool on a pinarello. Don't seem to slow down the Caisse D'Epargne team either. That being said they are not the lightest one out there. Don't get me wrong they are light, very light and as light as anyone will ever need, but at around 940 grams for a painted frame, my own Cervelo R3 SL (at 789 grams measured) would be a fair bit lighter. As would the LOOK 586, Scott Addict and a whole bunch of other frames for similar cash or in some cases less, much less even.

Still though, if you are on the lookout for a head turning Italian Stallion that is good enough to win the Tour De France with the right rider on it, then you could do worse ! I have to confess I have always had a soft spot for the Pinarello's.

There are a lot of bikes that could win the Tour de France with the right rider on them. Even a Trek!

One of the Sanuier Duval riders who rides a small frame had to add weights to his Scott addict because it was under UCI weight limit.

Hope to buy myself a Look 586 or equivalant next year

Saw one assembled in cyclesuperstore yesterday, looks nice. Really like the bowed top tube but I'm not really a fan of those wavy seat stays and fork, looks a bit too artsy to me.

It's pretty common given the weight of most frames these days.

Hit the nail on the head. There are lighter and cheaper frames out there, but it would be hard to resist.

They look comfy to me. I'm thinking shock absorbtion.

Pinarello's are class lads, I got one two years ago and still loving it, very comfortable, very responsive, very strong, and very good looking IMO, if you can pick one up (relatively) cheap on the intergooglebay I'd highly recommend it, I saved over a grand on the frame compared to the superstore, and once you have the bike you won't want anything else for, well two years and counting...

Oh yeah, no question about comfort, just I would have prefered a traditional shape as I think they take away from the rest of the frame's clean lines.

I'm not a fan of the wavy fork/stays either. They look a bit too bling for me.
But if someone was to give me one, well that's a different story.
