Colnago v1r does not look like a Colnago IMHO while Pinarello 65.1 is as iconic as a Pina can be. So... Pinarello that is.

Pinarello in a size 51. 5

it has the added benefit of making you a target. everyone is going to want to race you.

Colnago C60- The Pinarello is too chachi

If you are looking at an Italian road bike get one that is actually made in Italy, IMO

Personally, I would pick the Colnago. However, the Pinarello might feel more aggressive with its steeper HT angle and shorter front center.

agreed with kgt. The v1r looks similar to many other frames. strip the paint and it would be difficult to discern. the dogma on the other hand is a thing of beauty with its tube shape and design.

if you're set on Colnago brand, get a c59 or c60.

fit wise, the v1r only comes in sloping sizes and may not feel as aggressive althou negative stem can be used. however, the opposing angles of a sloping top tube and stem may be an eye sore.

good luck!

Get the Pina Dogma 65.1. I am your size and ride a size 51.5. Did I mention the frame is for sale? I wish to upgrade to an F8.

Been seeing some sweet color paint jobs on VR-1s on Colnago instagram.

Pinarello. Just make sure that you know what size frame you need. I see recommendations of a 51.5, just an fyi, I'm 5'8.5" and ride a 54 with a 130 stem... Height is a really poor indicator of bike fit.

Before shelling out that much money, I would recommend getting fitted and actually know for sure what size you need.

Audiojan, curious what your saddle to BB measurement is. I ride a pina 54 with a -10 120 stem(slammed), 79 reach bars with a 75cm saddle to bb (can't recall offhand setback but mid saddle) and I'm 180cm tall.

Edit: yep some toe overlap...makes track stands interesting and scary at times.

I'm 5'8 and had a Dogme 51.5 and it was ok if you are flexible and still like a slamped stem. Would I build or buy another Pinarello I would go 53cm for sure. I had a lot of toe overlap with the 51.5. 53 is the way to go if you are 5.8

Since you are asking for opinions, I find the wavy fork, chain stays, and seat stays to be so ugly that I couldn't bear to own such a bike. I vote V1R. There is a gorgeous V1R in the Intros forum if you need inspiration.
