hi Alex, mind if i ask what is your inseam? i'm considering the 57.5 too as i'm 1.85m similar to your 1.87m, but your seatpost looks like its way higher than what i'm comfortable with.

You correct you should be able to choose everything that goes on the frame. Only bikes on the rack in a store you have no choice. So he might have got a deal as is only. He did give a lot of publicity so i imagine he made some sort of deal. Some manufacturers give so many away to certain people for PR. No matter how he got it without stealing it he got it and that's all that matters. Sweet bike.

Totally agree, especially for the price Pinarello charge. You should be able to change bar, stem and crank length.

@dutypaidrock Год назад

The fact you can drop £10k on a bike and it STILL not be the range-topping model is, quite frankly, laughable, and pretty disgusting. Seems like brands are trying to make the 'pro' versions untouchable, which rather defeats the object of the UCI rule regarding it being available to the public. Yes, in the same way that buying a passenger jet is 'available to the public'.

@lokerola Год назад

I went out on long ride this weekend on my carbon fiber/disk brake bike. I ended up at a coffee shop with some guys still rocking their steel bikes with rim brakes. The bikes looked fantastic and I wondered "what the hell am I doing with this overpriced, plastic-fantastic bike?". I may sell it and go back to a classic steel bike. I'm just doing grand fondo's, centuries, and average group rides. I don't need some sort of high-end bike. Anyway- the new Pinarello looks great.

@nicoblier6624 Год назад

I just went through the same thought process and did the same thing. I got my steel frame from spa cycles last week and I’m building it up with rim brake stuff I had lying around and campy alloy wheels that I’ve always loved.

@xAudiolith Год назад

Exactly why I'm riding alloy framesets without all this press fit BB nonsense and proprietary accesory parts. Not to mention with rim brakes. Saves a lot of headache and money and I made pretty good speed gains by just focusing on dialing in my position and doing core training to get more aero.

@serdiezv Год назад

They're not exclusive. I love my Merida Reacto, but I have set alarms for any Vitus 979 that pops up in my area. Old bikes are great, but that springy feel around the bottom bracket isn't optimal when you're trying to push on a climb, they're great for pleasure rides tho.

@mejsansturmid6396 Год назад

Absolutely beautiful, congrats Alex! I though have a problem with the pricing of this kind of bikes. Reminds me little of Hifi where more expensive is always regarded as better sounding. I remember quite a lot of Tri competitions where the more I kept overtaking my fellow triathletes, the more expensive their bikes became. And when you then reach double the price of your own bike you realize: It is hardly the bike, it is much more about how much and how you're training, at least above a certain minimum. But I understand that having ten grand under your bottoms must feel great - and how much greater for the bloke just overtaking you on his budget bike. Or her budget bike. Keep up the good work anyway, love it!

@MTBScotland Год назад

@DaveCM Год назад

@Metal-Possum Год назад

Italian made bikes have always been overrated. Their hand made steel frames had great paint jobs, but were not particularly well made compared to those made by many French or even English frame builders. Italian bikes also dropped in quality if they were made after lunch time, as they're a nation known for drinking wine at noon.

@lawrenceubell9596 Год назад

I agree with going with narrower bars, i just updated my Aethos S Works with coefficient RR 38 mm bars with the swept back middle bar section and love them and the 38mm closes up my frontal area for more aerodynamics.

"Extra cash left in your wallet"? That's less aero and more weight, what were you thinking Alex!

@erlendsteren9466 Год назад

Of course it is extra weight, but if you put the fat wallet in your backpocket, it will build a small aerodynamic bump on your back, reducing drag and building speed.

@zoozu2067 Год назад

I'm not under the illusion that rim brakes are better (in every way). If I was doing a lot of heavy descending, i probably would own a disc brake bike as well...

Doug seems really pleased with most of his new bike. However, having tried 140mm rotors myself, I think he may decide to change pretty soon. I went from 140 to 160 front & rear & then to 180 on the front. There are some pretty big hills around Bath, including Box Hill on the A46 where a bigger rotor will make a difference. I used to race tandems up & down that swine when I worked in AVC in the 90s.

@tombola4046 Год назад

Sorry but Absolute BS!I live in Bradford on Avon, cycle all the roads you talk about on a regular basis and at no point have I ever thought I needed a 180mm rotor! I run a 160/140 combo and it’s more than enough

@GCNalex Год назад

Hey, Doug here! No changing my mind on 140 rotors. I have been using them on the front ever since first using disc bikes, that said they are not the optimal choice for all situations or some peoples preference. As a rider over 80kg it can be pretty easy to overheat a 140 front on big hills and at times youll see me run a 160 on the front.

@@DaveCM thats a very fair statement. Rim and disc brake tech should always have their place and will always want there to be the choice for consumers. Both systems have pros/cons and its down to everyone to decide what is most important to them

@DaveCM Год назад

@Alex Paton while I agree, it doesn't make sense for manufacturers to maintain two different systems. It drives up costs. Not just for manufacturing and inventory but also for R&D. Since rim brake bikes would sell in small number, they would cost much more or the cost will have to be dissipated onto the disc brake bikes, too.

@ricardorgomez 10 дней назад

Well done. It's always fun to get a new bike. I've been eyeing the new Pinarello F/X5 with 105 DI2. It will be my first bike in about 13 years and my 2nd Pinarello in almost 40 years. So why the F/X5? The bike I had in 2011 or so was a Scott Speedster 50. Shimano Sora. Aluminum frame and carbon forks. That bike, which cost me 1/2 of my 1986 Dura-Ace equipped (and probably less when taking inflation into account), Columbus-framed Pinarello, was so superior. Absolutely. Super stiff. Superior shifting via the brake levers. It was a sad day when I sold it just a few months later... Lots of reasons. But I loved that bike.... So now, a new Pinarello. At $5k, I consider it quite expensive and it doesn't even come with Dura Ace. Not even close... The groupset is two rings underneath that. With inflation, another $800 should get me top of the line everything. But that Scott was so damn good. And that was 13 years ago. WIRELESS 105 is really another galaxy away. I was wondering for years when Shimano was going to do that. Total carbon and GORGEOUS finish. 1980's Italian bicycles in general had lousy quality when it came to paint jobs. So the new Piinarello will look good even when hanged up on the wall... 😛 If people want to spend money on Dura Ace.... That's fine if they'll enjoy it. I'll be completely happy with my 105. And beating them up those climbs. 😀

That's a downgrade in my opinion no offense you had a lighter faster bike with the f12. 11 speed amd rim brake works fine actually better than 12 speed and disc in my opinion. 4 years old is still a pretty new bike.

@GCNalex Год назад

Hey no offence to be taken, as i said, my rim f12 is one of my favourite bikes to ride!

@cbb3062 Год назад

@Alex Paton awesome how you stuck with the pinarello brand when choosing a new bike. I guess the new one would be much better in the rain lol rim on carbon is super sketch.

What has the port in the downtube, meant for the old Di2, to do with mechanical gears?

@GCNalex Год назад

in addition to the previous gen Di2 junction port location, its where the adjuster for the front mech would go should the bike be running mechanical.

@SrFederico Год назад

@@GCNalex Ah ok. That makes sense. Would be quite fiddly to adjust them in that small hole...

@davidpomerantz Год назад

That F12 should go in a GCN museum

Lovely bit of kit from a fellow Pinarello owner.

If it's not available in the UK, you bought it in Italy? Did you declare it at Customs on the way back. I believe import duty is due on anything more than 135£/€ now we're not in the EU. I'm interested as I had considered buying an Orbea in Spain, getting it a bit dirty and bringing it back in my camper van! This would still apply if you bought online.

Nice "new" bike Alan digging the paint job, kinda looks like an old American "black and white" cop car. Side note I've been thinking of using smaller rotors(140MM) on my bike, maybe a "How to" video showing how to flip your calipers would be a good idea, just sayin.

@florianbusch3082 Год назад

Just remove the spacer underneath the break socket and you should be ready to go?

Should you not get the bike fit before ordering your stem?

Not really, they (GCN) gets what they are given from Pinarello. No special treatments.

They never gave you the range topper? Do they not know who you are, Trevor.

Love the killer whale paint job, match it with humpback technology. Plus Pirelli.

Bikes are not really getting lighter. They're becoming more complex, harder to maintain, and heavier. The idea that anyone who can buy the F9, meaning anyone with money, is going to use motorized shifting is a bit pretentious, is it not.

I can confirm those bottle cages are good at bottle retention

Thanks Gary, glad you have my back! 😎

I could easily afford a new Dogma, but currently prefer to make up deficiencies with training.

Lovely bike, especially the colour scheme. I still can‘t understand why even the most expensive bikes come with bars that are most likely too wide. Expensive thing to correct if it‘s integrated. Is Shimano groupset and Zipp (SRAM) wheels even allowed?

@GCNalex Год назад

My thoughts too! Sure its ok to mix and match, purists will not be happy though!

@chrisridesbicycles Год назад

@@GCNalex However no Campag-purists involved. Should be ok. 🙃
