My new Pinarello
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
Hello ,
My Name is Rene from the Netherlands. I've got a Pinarello Paris Carbon in the IB team colours 7,3 Kg at the moment.
Thinking of buying the new M5 wheels for this summer so the bike will be bellow 6,8 Kg . The new M5 carbon wheels for clincher tires are about 1220 Grams incl. M2 titanium screwers. The rim will be a 38 mm carbon rim and will be guaranteed to 9,5 bars pressure, and it's also availlable for tubes.
I've been to the shop of Bram Moens , masterbuilder of lightweight stuff, and have got an interview with Ronald , his compagnion. They've showed me an verry light seatpost/ saddle combination which is made for them.
Here is a pic of the bike :

It's not build for them alone and isn't new...
And if I ever meet an aardvark, I'm going to step on its damn protruding nasal implement until it couldn't suck up an insect if its life depended on it.
Thnx Timo ,

Pollice verso.
Thanks for the comments on my bike,
This week I was thinking about a new set of wheels to get the bike sub 6,8 Kg. I was thinking about the M5 wheels for clinchers or the Campagnolo Hyperon for tubulars. what would you suggest , and why ?
Thnx Rene
LJ I saw you had the Hyperon wheels also in combination with the Pinarello bike , and do you like to ride them ?

Are you sure about the weight of the two hubs? 192g for front + rear? I realize people are doing some crazy things with hubs these days but that seems a little optimistic.
I'll make a new topic on the road discussion okay.
And I will post a link for you .

Today my bike lost a full 100 grams. I got the new M2 screwers .....39 grams compared to the 141 of the campagnolo ones.
