Afternoon All,
...SO I've been saving for a while now and my SCOTT Speedster S40 is more than ready to be decommissioned to the commute run. I have been saving for a Pina and am thoroughly looking forward to picking one up.
Can I ask, do many other people on here have a Pinarello, when I ready through posts, threads etc, I never seem to see much mention of them, even though they appear to be up there with one of the best bikes about. I personally think I am settled on a ROKH, looks decent and I can afford that guy.
Just wondering is all.....

Made me laugh a little. I see a lot of Specialized and Boardman this way. By the way, you've the best name on here hands down. The amount of times I scream, in my head of course, for my legs to shut up when cycling is hilarious, if not slightly disturbing. GoodWork, keep it up.0 -

The few Pinarellos I see round here to be Team Sky Dogma's (at least I hope they are)!
The Rokh is an excellent allround bike and rides very very well.0 -

I've owned a Pinarello Prince since 2008 and bought an EPS equipped Dogma2 in May. Absolutely brilliant bikes.

I own a pinarello FPUno and I love it, everywhere I go I get admiring comments about my bike. Even though the FP uno is an aluminum frame with a carbon rearstay everyone is suprised when I tell them its an aluminum frame.0

Recently ive been seeing alot of cube and specialized bikes and of course the most produced bike ,trek.0 -

1. Boardmans
2. Boardmans

I've got an FP2 and love it. I haven't seen another one on the roads where I ride and it gets a lot of interest from other cyclists. I quite like the uniqueness of it.0

What I see in my club:
1. Giant
2. Cervalo
3. Pinarello, Dolan, Specialized
Get it if you want it, but realise that you can probably do more with your money.English Cycles V3 | Cervelo P5 | Cervelo T4 | Trek Domane Koppenberg0 -
I think the Pinarello to go for is the Mamil
Round my way its
1. Specialized
2. Cervelo
3. Trek
4. Pinarello
5. Canondale
I think Ribble and Boardman are considered a bit BSO in Surrey.0 -
Looking at the bikes on our club rides people seem to have minds of their own! There's nothing particularly dominant - infact, I think only Ribbles noticeably number more than one.
For example, we have an Orbea, a Colnago, a Planet X, a Cannondale, a Carrera, a Look, a Wilie, a Focus, a Bianchi and not much in the way of the default brands.Faster than a tent.......0 -

Yes!
No I'm not. I'm not a MAMIL either or a banker/lawyer (32). Actually used to have a Wilier (Mortirolo) before I bought the Prince and have had Focus (Variado) and Specialized (Allez) before that.
Back in 08 Pinarello's were fairly rare around London and the SE/SW where I ride, in fact I only saw one other when I did the Etape in 08. Obviously the SKY effect has kicked in massively and you see more around now, although I'm yet to see anyone on a BoB Dogma2. That doesn't detract from the fact that they are great bikes. I don't really understand where the whole dentist thing comes from, I think it's partially down to the British love of sneering.
Incidentally my Prince is 5 years old now and I've not had a single problem with it or the Chorus gruppo. The build quality is fantastic.- 2023 Vielo V+1

Well, I've got an pinarello prince frame (aluminium with carbon fork and seat stays), had it for maybe 7 or more years. When it was new and shiny with a custom paint job I got lots of admiring looks. Sadly over the years that has changed, maybe time for a respray, I've had no problems with the bike so wouldn't change it, and it has survived a number of crashes rather well.0

I would guess it's a lighthearted poke at how much dentist's earn. I reckon mine is on about £450 an hour judging by his charges and miniscule amount of time poking around in my mouth0 -
Boardman is the king round here it seems. I reckon half of Nottinghamshire's bike spend ends up in Chris's pocket. After that it's fairly evenly split between the others - Pinarello, Spesh, Trek and Giant.
Personally I want a Pinarello.The only disability in life is a poor attitude.0
