Chinarello or Pinnarello or better light carbon bike

Is this a fake or real pinnarello- can’t be sure but it’s £4500, can’t really afford to spend that amount if it’s not the real deal. .Anyone got any tips on equally as good and 6.8-7.2kg full Carbon Bikes.

Impossible to tell from that picture.
Ask for the serial and ask Pinarello.

For 4,500 you can get a lot of bike. Especially used.

With £4500 I'd buy a Sarto Asola frame and keep saving...

The biggest give away is the state of the forks, and where they meet the head tube, and the steerer to head tube and stem interfaces. The seat post to seat tube, and the seat tube itself really don’t look gen either. If you need to know 100 percent give the frame number to Pinarello and they’ll confirm one way or the other. You could easily get a fantastic light bike for 4.5K. Face bay is full of ‘bought during lockdown, no longer used’ bargains at the moment.

Wow, that's a beauty! Too big for me otherwise I'd be surely tempted.
