not really. i have another Pinarello now. Gan S, with Chorus :D and Scirocco's :cry:

didn't do anything special on it. I took the cages, pedals, sadle and skewers from the old Gan. Put a Vittoria Corsa Speed on.

I'm short on a cockpit and wheels.

but hey, i'm injoying a beautiful ride.

The how it was when it was sold. Don't really remember what the weight was. It had Chorus and Eurus 2 way fit with Corsa G+ speed TLR, with a tubless setup. A sweet ride.

now i have the new Prince, with Chorus EPS. It has 39/53 on front and a Super Record 11-29 at the back. Old Fulcrum Racing Speed XLR's with missmatching tubular tires :) and a Zero 100 bars and Superzero stem. I have Berk Hlod with leather cover and the pedals and cages from the previus setup. I haven't got the chance to ride it, but i assume how it rides :) it will be all smiles again.

Great looking bike. I always liked that curvy frame / fork (Pinarello, Kuota ...), but everythings looks great.
Only when fashion of all black matte colour wouldn't be so widespread :mrgreen:

I liked the old look too. My favorite is Dogma 65.1 in black.. but the ride quality really improved when they introduced F8

Hi,

the seatpost clamp is from an old 3T seatpost, but you can by similiar from KCNC.

I tried the tan line tires on but it was a big NO NO.

Few days back i got the Camp. Bora Ultra 35 tub. but then i put vittoria corsa cx tubulars on, which are heavy.. around 280g + glue. so now the bike is around 6,6kg. im a little bit dissapointed. will see what the time brings. I got the wheels cheap... would prefer a 50mm

somebody asked me about comparison between Fizik Aliante and Berk Hlod. The feeling is pretty similar. I feel the edges on Berk sometimes. If you want to avoid that, the choose the padded version. Overall i find Berk more comfortable, even without padding. The bike even felt on the floor few times, and the saddle is ok.. few minor scratches, but i little bit of a grit paper and some polishing will do the job.. i highly recommend Hlod over Aliante.

and a picture from my workplace, to where i commute :) without bibs :)Image
Is this picture taken with the F8 fork? How did that work on the Gan frame?

this was indeed with F8 fork. Today it is still on Gan S of fellow of mine.

The ride felt great. Responsive front end, and some compliance in the frame. And it is not a sharp in the corners as Dogma, which is quite extreme. It is well balanced geometry and good frame design.
