Pinarello Dogma 60.1

Posts: 36
Two weeks ago I spotted bristolpete's beautiful Dogma on here and i just had to get one .
I had seen them back in december , It was love at first sight but at £3500 for frameset
It was out of reach so i got an SL2 roubaix frameset instead .
SL2 is now my winter wheels !
Two weeks ago i picked up my dogma frame set size 57.5 in black carbon red and silver
I built her with sram red and american classic 420 areo wheels .
my dogma built only weighs 7.2 kg
I have to admit i was a little nervous and worried that the ride on this full throttle race bike was going to be harsh as it was reported to be so stiff .
I had been ridding a Roubaix which was very smooth in deed .
I finished building her the same day i picked up the frame, At 5pm that day i set of on what was to be the ride of my life !
First thing that shocked me was how smooth and quiet it was.
This bike felt smoother then the Roubaix ! How ?
I knew the road i was on well and knew how the road felt on the roubaix , man holes pot holes i was in them all as i could just not believe the ride quality , Then bang I felt that one . I Big hole about 4" deep with sharp edges , so she is so smooth to point , then stiff as Iron . My Roubaix had zerts inserts to dampen road noise , which did a good job
but on the dogma , what i thought were just an image thing , a flash design the carved and wavy looking frame and folks , were doing all the noise dampening the zerts did but looked great too . (Those zerts are not nice to look at )
Wright so im made up with the smooth ride , now lets Boot this thing !
Out my seat and BANG this thing just fly's
Get out your seat and push it ! well you had better hold tight because she hold's no hostages
Every watt you put into the peddle come strait out the back wheel , no loss of power at all
As for handling she feels like it has four wheel drive , it's on rails ,just so planted
Yet so smoooooth and confident
They say you get what you pay for with most things you buy , I got to say with this dogma ,even at £3500 it is so true .
I have three carbon bikes in my biking life time 1 st Boardman team carbon £1000 , 2 nd specialized SL2 Framset £1800
And the dogma £3500 .
Every step up in price has had an equivalent step up in ride quality and style
Dogma all the way and lever looking back

Just had the same experience with my newly built up Cento Uno - floaty, fast, and just fall over beautiful.
you get what you pay for!
I hope it was worth the wait.0 -
Pazman,
Like the colour scheme you've chosen and you're write up too. I'm not a big fan of Pinarello's but your one looks really good - great job. Glad you're enjoying it and was interested in your comments on your Roubaix SL2 as I like those too (nice winter bike by the way). Have fun.

Good to hear it. Happy days. Excellent. That the Etape? My friend is riding - either way I wish you luck with those climbs. Nice work on the miles. Gotta make the most of summer while the light is good.0
