Kind of looks like a speed concept and a shiv made a baby! edit- Oh crap didnt see the other thread, could a mod please delete this one? _________________ 650b Ritchey Colnago Mapei S-Works Tarmac

Perhaps Pinarello was inspired by Wieskirche? On that note, I would like to see a paint scheme that is truly Bavarian Rococo, Wieskirche-like. Just because it would be fitting. Anyway, it should perform "aero" and inevitably Pinarello lovers or critics will point at Wiggin's results as some verification/vindication for the shape, even though it is ultimately up to the rider and not the frame. _________________ Exp001

The unit is considered to be integrated with the frame or fork. The combination of the frame tube (or fork tube) + brake + cover must respect the 1:3 rule, as well as the minimum and maximum dimension rules and must be contained completely within the corresponding 8 cm box. http://www.uci.ch/Mo...zg4OTM&LangId=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

But in all fairness, really take a long and hard look at the P3, the longer you look, the uglier it gets...
