This is my much loved road bike, bought secondhand in 2006. 14 years later, it remains my only road bike.

I would be very grateful for any information regarding this frame please: carbon main tubes, fork and wishbone seat stays, alu lugs, chain stays and head tube. The bb is stamped 00 and the seat post is 27.2 mm.

The fork, wishbone seat stays and bb/ chain stays do seem identical to some Pinarello models of the time. I've read about the history of Opera and Pinarello and noted the Opera line appeared to change the bonded carbon/ alu manufacturing very quickly, and I've only seen one other frame like this.

In terms of the questions around bonded frame longevity, it's been all ok so far. It's a lovely bike and it's still a joy out on a summer sunny day.

Thanks

Tom
