Pinarello Dogma F8 inGamba born

[KarlC]

A few parts have stumbled in .....

[KarlC]

I'd like to try some Veloflex Vlaanderen tubular tires that measure 27mm on my F8, the tire looks to fit the frame but not the brakes. So I tried a few brakes, Campy Record 11 and Record 12 both do not have enuf clearance but the Pina Most brakes do. A few photos for ya with a Veloflex Vlaanderen 27mm tubular rear tire. Note that the Record 12 and the Most brakes both have a screw you can turn to open up the brakes, the Record 12 gets wider but not taller, the Most gets wider and taller ! The Pina Most breaks weigh 295g.

Performance of the Most brakes, which are propably some kind of TRP or something (Miche has the same in their range) will be far less than the Campagnolo calipers.
Try to adjust the 12spd brakes with the screws at the size of the brakearms.

Is that a stock Pinarello seat post? Looks a bit different.

The branding is even worse. SUP ERO.

Sand that off and cut the drops down slightly?

Lovely Gamba Pina ..

Sanding the Logo off is impossible because the handlebar is not gloss but matt. Tried it myself ( with both the gloss as also the matt handlebar ) the gloss came out fine with grid 1200 and polishing after sanding. Tried the logo's on the side of the matt handlebar - and it was terrible, not worth trying the top logo.

Gloss handlebar - removed logo's and matt handlebar with logo.




And the drops are long ?? This is how it looks on my other bike.

I'm not really a huge fan of Pinarello's, but that looks great. I'm sure it wil be a cool build and what a cool story.

what stem is that Karl?

I wanted to try a 0 offset seatpost but could not find one localy so I order a Hylix one off ebay to try. You can read good things on Hylix products here on WWs, so far the quality looks good and the finish matches the Berk clamp and naked parts of the frame well.

Ive not had any issues for the FSA -12, once the logos are removed they look and work great.
