I am looking into buying either an fp3 or a colnago clx-2. There are advantages to each. With the Colnago, there are a couple of overseas sellers that will sell the bikes substantially cheaper than they are sold in the US. Is there such a thing for Pinarello? It seems that all the US retailers I have found are very close in their pricing.

I think sales on the clx 2.0 are pretty comparable now. I've been looking around and prices are between $100-$200 USD depending on what sales are going on.

unless you can show me a site with a frame selling for $1500 USD ... I would say it's pretty hard to find anything less than the 2000 - 2200 I find.

If you do know of a site selling that low.. please let me know.

When I was shopping around, I came across a blog from Taiwan selling high-end bikes. They claim to be able to get 30% or so off US MSRP for Pinarello. I think they get better discounts off sale of full bikes (as opposed to frames). It may be higher / lower for other brands. Here is the link:

You may be able to get some sweet deals at your local dealers as well. I recently shopped around for a FP3 Ultegra bike for my wife as well as a Dogma frame for myself. I found most dealers were able to take 15-20% off MSRP on bikes they order from Gita. They may be able to do better on bikes that they already have in the showroom.

All remaining 2010 FP1, FP2, FP3 and FP7's are on sale thru Gita here in the US.
