Haha, nope thought it looked like the Austrian flag.... Pretty safe punt from there. Plus with the Pro stem makes it even more of a team build

Super Domestique

That stem is for my reach though at 120mm, Bernie ran a 140mm.

I am changing the bottle cage for the elite team sky one though.

Should you ever wish to liquidate some of your bike stock, do let me know. I would be more than happy to £2-300 for one of the bikes.

giant_man

the Meilensteins are nice ...

Ianho, can I just say that you have some seriously nice bikes (I love the venge you have)...living the dream. AND can I thank you for using a telephoto so that the pics don't come out distorted...bikes look so much better when the handlebars don't come out like massive goat horns... your'e very lucky

Goat horns...... Hahaha. U must be a photographer too. Most people won't know the difference, a picture is a picture is a picture.

Haha yeah I am! A picture should always be taken properly though by looking at the amount of money spent on your beautiful bikes I'm guessing you have a Hasselblad!?

Oooff !

What a machine..

Congrats.

ianho

Took my Doggy for a walk up in the hills. It was absolutely fantastic even at current weight of 6.3kg. Would be nicer once I get it down to about 6.0kg or maybe even sub 6kg. Should be an easy job with Clavicula cranks, Fibula/AX Lightness Orion/ZG Gravitas brakes but I need to win the lottery first. Haha.

Yellow Peril

That's the first modern Pinarello I've seen that I'd buy if I had the cash. I love yellow bikes.

stunning looking machines.....I am interested though...as a firm believer in the N+1 theory of bike ownership, what kind of mileage or how often do you get to ride which could justify spending the amount on machines like this. I already have two bikes, but as much as I would love a bike of this standard, I can think how I could ever justify to the financial controller in the house, spending that amount, unless I was thinking of turning pro?
Or do you just love the bikes that much the cost is irrelevant......???

Super Domestique

Great pic Ian.

I ditched the metal bottle cages on mine yesterday for the more 'pro style' Elite ones with Sky trim - not a huge change but a little weight saved - that said, your Dog is a fair chunk lighter than mine!

I try to ride at least 1.5-2 hours every day. Sometimes it's a 40+km time trial, sometimes it's 16-17km up in the hills. Then there's the Tuesday n Thursday night rides with my buddies that last about 2 hours n then the weekend rides that are between 60-100km long. I'd say my average is about 1200km a month.

I'm using a 7gm carbon bottle cage with practically weightless Carbon-Ti branded aluminium bolts. I ordered an Elite Team Sky bottle last Monday. Going to the LBS to collect it tomorrow. Wish I could get my hands on some of those "Not For Sale" Team Sky Gatorade bottles though.

Super Domestique

You are going to hate me Ian, but I have 2 of those. I'll pop them in and take another picture when I can!

At least that makes me feel better about the fact yours is lighter :-D

Wow! Thanks for the link. Gonna buy it now

Nice bike indeed, I'm guessing the last shot is actually of your driveway Green bottles are going to clash horribly though...

Haha. If that was indeed my driveway, it would be a picture of a yellow Ferrari instead.

The green Gatorade bottle looks ok in this picture. But I do prefer the black bottle with the blue Sky stripe.

New updates. Lightweight Standard III intead of the Lightweight Meilensteins for a more classic look. Also installed a Berner pulley with Ceramicspeed bearings. Sorry the bike is a bit dirty, it had just been through a 4 hour ride in the rain.

Where is this dirt of which you speak? You must get cleaner rain than we do in Blighty!

I'd hate to see your dry weather bike if you use that in the rain!!!
