What road bike do you have?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

That is a nice looking bike! The only thing I wish this bike (I have the same one) is a lighter fork. The thing weighs 600g.

REALLY DUMB QUESTION... please pardon it... how do the valves work on those Zipp wheels? Is the tube valve actually super long, or is there an extender?

I don't typically like the Wavy front fork on the dogma, but that paint scheme is off the hook. Very Very Nice Red/Black.

Actually a good question. There is an extender. Leave the valve in the open position, screw on an extension. When you clamp the pump on, the pressure from the pump activates the valve and the air goes right in. Just got to make sure the extender is really tight on the valve.

Has to be the best looking bike i've ever seen. Normally I don't like pinarello much, but the colour scheme so good. Man it's nice. How expensive was it.

Jeez................... Love that bike

actually that depends on the tire(tubulars)/tube(clinchers) not the wheel... Vittoria has a 110mm valve for 808s and such... don't always have to use extenders.
