I test rode the FP3, and found it livelier than the Ruby, less upright geometry, but very comfortable. Tested a Jamis Xenith Femme at the same time, and the ride was very similar...one of the shop guys went out with me on the test ride, and we kept swapping bikes...his impressions was the same. The Pin cornered better, and was dead sexy - for $1500 more, comparing full list of both bikes. I loved the Pin, but I love my broken down old dog more, so the difference went to his vet bills and I'm happily riding the Jamis. I'd be happier being able to gaze at the Pinarello in all it's loveliness, but don't feel like I gave up much in ride quality or comfort.
