Strengths: Weight
Finish
Robustness
Soft ride for aluminium
StiffnessWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: Over the years I have put this bike through alot of commuting and some club races. Whilst full aluminium it has a surprising level of compliance and comfort whilst being sufficiently stiff to give good acceleration and hill climbing performance. Rough roads can be tiresome though, numb hands and feet are a problem after 80km on poor surfaces. The bike is getting on now however I think it would be hard to find a better Aluminium alternative even today. If you find one buy it as you won't regret it!

Strengths: Stiff ride, responsive
Great acceleration
Lightweight frame
Beautiful, aerodynamic design
Well craftedWeaknesses: Higher profile tires rub on the fork.
The price.Bottom Line: I went to a bike swap several years ago and a guy there was selling a Pinarello Paris. I rode it and fell in love with it. A few months later I had a friend order me the frame and build one in my size! What I immediately loved was the sleekness of the design and tear drop shaped top tube, and the paint job was beautiful!! Once I began racing criteriums I really noticed how responsive the bike was in the corners and how fast it accelerated. Personally, I really enjoy the stiff ride. Previous to riding this bike I didn't even enjoy cycling. I have made the transition from a more casual cyclist to competitive road racer and will never ride another bike.
Favorite Ride: Paoli loop in south western Wisconsin
Price Paid:
$2200.00
Purchased At: A friend built it fo
Bike Setup: Shimano Ultegra, and a mish mash of other parts that I could afford at the time. Sacriligeous I know not to have Campy but I hope to upgrade soon!! :)
