Pinarello F10
Posted: Wed Sep 20, 2017 3:58 pm
I've been riding an F10 for a while now and I have to say, it is the most sublime ride I've ever experienced. I'm especially interested in exploring the notion that this frame has been characterized as a harsh ride. I've been intentionally going over varied rough terrain and finding that I can ride seated, without the need to lift like I do with my other bike.
Previously, I had been trying to observe the number of times I needed to lift with my Felt F1, and found that I was constantly needing to do so. I never thought about that much but now it's obvious to me that it's consuming energy.
Yesterday, during a very fast group ride, and over varied rough terrain, I did not need to lift once.
The saddle is some kind of Bontrager model, which I can find out and the wheels are Enve with 25 Continental. The frame size one size smaller than the one I am getting, so I expect the larger frame will also contribute to a smoother ride.
I've owned and ridden many fine bikes and nothing rides like the F10. To me, it is a staggeringly beautiful machine.
