Thank you! I really wanted the Maglia Nera but, unfortunately, my local shop could only get the La Rossa from their distributor. The red is growing on me slowly though. You can definitely fit 25mm tires. You probably could fit 28mm tires if you wanted to. I'm running 25mm currently. Please post pictures of your build!Merovingian wrote: ↑Sun Jul 08, 2018 9:16 pm

This thing is beautiful! What size tires are you running? I just ordered the maglia nera gan rs and want to swap the wheels and put 25mms on, but the pinarello website states 23mm is the max.
Show us your Pinarello

Thank you for the info! I dig the black/red color scheme and those wheels add so much personality to the bike.
As for the pics of my bike and build, I most definitely will post them! Looks like I should have it in about two weeks (hopefully). The online retailer I ordered it from has been taking its sweet time getting it to me, but I can't complain, considering the deal they gave me.

What components will it be built with? Did you order from Competitve Cyclist?Merovingian wrote: ↑Mon Jul 09, 2018 1:28 amThank you for the info! I dig the black/red color scheme and those wheels add so much personality to the bike.

There's my rig... Don't see a reason to spend money on a F8.5, sorry I meant an F10.
And have to wait and see what Pinarello is going to do in 2020 with their disc brake implementation; there are no changes for 2019. A few brands are coming out with really clean setups on disc, but the current Pinarello offerings is terrible with all the exposed cables and so on.

I dont have anything set in stone yet, just know that I will be replacing the wheels, bars and saddle to begin with. Still in the info gathering stage of each choice and am going to order new items once the bike actually arrives. How do you like your wheels? Some of the roads nearby can be a bit rough so I am worried about pinched flats and gravel flats, which is going to influence my wheel purchase.
I ordered through Glory Cycles. They made an error on my initial order and to make up for it offered a deal on the Gan RS.
Do you have any pictures you can post? I've only seen the Talon in person once and really like it but its $1,000USD which seems outrageously expensive when the Vision Metron 5D competitor is half the price.
Hey @LionelB. On your Talon, is the sleeve that clamps around the headtube solid alloy or carbon if you can remember. You’d have to look at the inside of it to tell probably, but just wondering if you remember. Had the misfortune of trying to work with a fake Talon handlebar... what a pain in the ass, from the holes by the levers where the cables are meant to route to the steertube bolts, and to the piece of glued on tin foil on the inside of stem collar (that clamps to the steertube) to make it look like it’s alloy, or perhaps it’s put in after the fact to take up sloppy tolerances, I don’t know. Didn’t take too much convincing to toss them into the garbage.

Here are a few pics when it was on my F8, moved it to my F10 sinceHarrisonK wrote: ↑Mon Jul 09, 2018 2:49 pmDo you have any pictures you can post?

I do not quite recall, I think it's carbon. But on a fake what do you expect anyway. I saw a guy working on a fake F8 and he could not slide the front wheel on the fork.Calnago wrote: ↑Mon Jul 09, 2018 3:36 pmHey @LionelB.

I didn’t know it was a fake when I started working on it but everything was so wonky and ill fitting that I finally checked with the US distributor who confirmed its fakeness. I convinced the owner to get rid of it and we got a Pro one piece bar instead. The reason I was asking about the inside of the stem column was that on this one it had a little piece of foil stuck to the inside to, I presume, make it look like it was alloy, which I’m assuming the real ones are.

Looking forward to more pictures. Looks a lot like my set up. What wheels are those?Merovingian wrote: ↑Sat Jul 28, 2018 8:19 pmJust picked her up last night...Will be posting more photos when I have more. So amped!!
Very nice, looks perfect enjoy!
here is mine, hope the pics are not completely useless...always have black tape, so i experimented with something errr... different....back to boring black soon
The frame weighed ~925g (54) and the fork ~393 (uncut), I wonder how this compares to other F10s...
Thanks to LW Obies (~934g) it’s approx 6kg incl mount but w/o PC8 head unit...~ 6.7kg w training wheels. Cheers
