Pinarello F8 XLight

If you think I've got some kind of "anti-China" agenda, you haven't been on this site long enough to make accurate guesses about other users' position on topics.


Your attempts to read between lines and make up what you think is being argued is hilarious.

So why are you reading between the lines and making up that he thinks you have an anti-China agenda? Go back and reread what was written, he didn't say anything like that.

Because he brought Giant up as an example in a tone that implied I would have not included them in the "passion" argument.

I think you're reading too much between the line when there isn't actually anything there.

No he didn't. Evidently you haven't spoken with 2lo8 enough to be able to make educated guesses about his position.

Still, your ability to generate a confrontation out of nothing is, as ever, hilarious

The whole subcontracted in Asia argument gets so old... At the end what matters is the result. My Crumpton is handmade in the US, my F8 is made in Asia. Guess which one is better ?

"Made in Asia" is for keeping costs low. Quality-wise there is no problem. But when you got a Taiwan made frame costing north of 4k... I just don't like the business model.

so word just came in that F8 XLight is cancelled, they'll no longer be produced, placed orders will be cancelled as well.
no explanation given so far.
let's wait and see the official announcement from Pinarello

[micky]

Seriously?

[beanbiken]

I can't see any mention of the XLight on their site....... Not that I had planned to buy anyway

[maquisard]

Maybe Pinarello read Weightweenies to do their market research!

[phallenthoul]

Seriously?

Yep I heard it from my local distributor. I've got several customers holding cash and waiting for final MSRP, they wouldn't have let me know this if it werent a real deal.
But technically F8 XLight has never been officially announced anyways..

They probably read this forum
I mean, if I would have a bike business, I would definitely read here.
Reviews are usually bullshit, everybody builds super bikes...
Now, if users here say that your product is rock solid...you're set.
For example, since I am on this forum, I changed most of my preconceptions..

Does that mean that those who says the Xlight materialised and released for public sales only so that Froome and company can ride it are wrong?

[mile2424]

Glory Cycles said $8499 is MSRP in the states....
