Nice beefy chainstay! Gigantic BB! Sweet replica colour of Caisse d'Epargne White!

we got one in last week. it's going back. derailleur hanger is misalligned...hard to straighten a carbon hanger.

it's crazy how much they're built out of the box. even the bottle cages are put on (with bolts greased).

what Jinx's pictures don't show is that the tires (GP4000s) and pedals (Keos) have Pinarello printed on them.

Took a closer look at our bike, and our's has the Attack/ Force combo, rather than GPs.

--edit--

wait a second...Jinx, was that bike a complete bike? our's came with a MOst carbon bar and stem. the retail on our's is $11k.

Thats different than the ones we have in our shop down here as well. Missing the MOst bar and stem, no pinnarello branded cranks and a different seat.
Still a great looking bike, I love the bottom bracket area on the frame, pure art!

I don't know how I missed that months ago.

So true! Carbon Pinarellos are madein Asia. "Italian Adrenalin" but Asia sweat and enviromental catastophe!

Have been for 3+ years.
Heck, Giant even owns 51% of Colnago. What a deal for the consumer on that one!
