Beautiful bike!

Did you buy that in the US? I tried to find the list of USA dealers on the Pinarello website and none showed up.

Yeah, their website is not very helpful for finding US dealers. Pinarello apparently has only a single US distributor (Gita Sports) which is the source for all US dealers. You can find the list of US dealers on their website at http://www.gitabike.com/cgi-bin/shop...pinarello.html.

I ended up buying online from Slane Cycles in Northern Ireland anyway because I wanted just the frameset but Gita supplies the FP7 to the US as a full bike only. Other models like the Prince & Dogma are available as framesets but cost a bit more than I wanted to spend. Slane sold the FP7 as a frameset only, at a very reasonable price including free shipping to the US. There's more info on my buying experience with them on this thread.

I bought my FP3 as a complete bike because they wouldn't sell just the frameset, but the bike shop bought back all the components and stuff, even the wheels. I put my Campy stuff on there, my Ksyrium wheelset, and it wound up being almost $1500 cheaper.
If you can find a dealer and just want the frameset, you might be able to work the deal like that.
