Let's play this game again...Choose between Dogma F10, Madone 9, Venge Vias....
Moderator: robbosmans
Cervelo S5....
I tested the Madone 9.9, Felt AR1, Canyon Aeroad Di2 (a friends) and a Venge (non-ViAS).
The Cervelo smashed all the others out the park.
It was the lightest, 'felt' the fastest, was second in comfort behind the Madone. I think it looks the best, it's the easiest to work on. I think it's also the most desirable and special...
To boot, Cervelos warranty is second to none. Absolutely awesome customer service.

If it had to be a plastic production bike....
C60 or Parlee
Custom hand build preferred over anything out of a mold - Baum, Vanilla, Pegoretti etc etc

Loving that an essentially 7 year old bike is still on some riders lists, I'll join them
1. Cipollini RB1K .....
2. Bianchi XR4
3. Trek Madone H1
4. De Rosa SK Pininfarina (the early UCI illegal model where the rear frame hugged the rear wheel)
5. Open U.P.
Beside No.1 I'll probably change my mind after pressing 'submit'

First off I won't ride any bike that is ugly and all those the OP mentioned are ugly as hell with no color...in my opinion of course!
BUT, I did like the Colnago that was shown above (the black one with the gold highlights, that bike looks really nice.
Then there is this, really cool looking but highly impractical! https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/or ... e361a0.jpg

Said the guy who own a Cervelo <3
Save your shillings - I owned a F8 for a time last year. Nice looking for sure but the most disappointing high end bike I've ever chucked a leg across, couldn't get rid of it quick enough.

was thinking about a used F8 that I can get for around $3400USD but too many blokes around here with Dogmas or Dogma-knock offs, it feels like a joke. I like the bowed-out fork though so might go for a 2017 Orbea Orca OMR which is kind of boring but you don't see anyone riding them. Kind of a shame that it would cost me the same amount as the F8 though
as for the OP.. Madone all the way

You can get this

which is on sale now and it is a much better frame than the Orbea, something really special and exclusive.

Same experience as well.. Beeing to Treviso to buy one back in 2016.... Lucky me, i had a test ride and got dissapointed totaly (140 km riding).. Also Lucky me i test ride 2 days before Colnago C60 for 130 km, and i bought C60.. Still enjoy and love the bike same as on first day.....
Im almost sure similar expereince will be F10 and F12 (F12 is the most ugly bike i ever seen.. Only one uglier is Dogma FS, which pretty well explain what is Pinarello about... Marketing Gimmick for CHINA cheap produced framesets selling for Premium price.. The only premium thing of Pinarello's this days is only the price....
If i buy AERO bike probably will buy Bianchi Oltre XR4 this days (if geometry suit me).
But my list will be:
1. Colnago C60 (if it's possible to find it cheap since old model), and for money savings will buy nice wheelset, components...
2. Colnago C64 (i prefer C60 for look vs C64)
3. Specialized Tarmac S-Works SL6 (like the geometry, stifness, but dont like BB30)
4. Bianchi Specialissima
5. Or maybe LOOK or TIME bikes... (they seem to be very high quality, and exotic enough to feel special)
