    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...

    Red face saddle

    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.
