THANKS to everyone who responded to my Pinarello question...for some reason I can't respond to that thread. Anyhow, I went far and wide and finally came back to the Pinarello. I was still concerned about the fact that while it was so incredibly more comfortable sizewise than my inch too big Colnago, it felt a little dead when I tested it with the stock Ultegra on it and the Fulcrum 5s on it. The guy was so sure I would like it, he took my Campy Chorus off my Colnago and put it on the FP3 and he was RIGHT. I do love it!!!!
Now I am not a pink girl, but I LOVE my Pinkarello....
Here it is.... now dressed in Chorus 11 and my much better wheelset... I'm going for a spin as soon as DH gets home...

Hot! I'm super jealous of your new ride! I want a new bike so bad, but unfortunately it's just not in the budget right now... But Congrats to you :D

Can you let us know what saddle you have on that beautiful Pinkarello? Did it come with it or is it yours?

Gorgeous! After you've had a chance to take it out for a while, will you post more details on how you feel it rides? I'm eyeing a Pinarello as well, and would love to hear what you think of its qualities in terms of stiffness/responsiveness, climbing, smooth vs harsh ride, etc.
