New Bike Build - One Man's Tutorial (there's a phot of the built up bike at the end)
Opera was an alternate Pinarello branding allegedly to get around their deal with Dedacicai and allow use of carbon and other "new" materials, or maybe just to experiment with new technology without risking their brand. Opera bikes are no slouch - Valverde rode a Leonardo FP to much success in '05-'06. I also have an '06 Paris FP. They are the same material, different molds. The Paris has internal lugs for the rear stays, the Opera external. The Opera has a tapered Onda fork, the Paris is straight. The Opera uses the oversized Most BB system (you'll see photos of that in my write-up) where the Paris is a standard Italian BB. Great riding bikes both.
You can find an '05 Opera catalog here:
https://www.riogrande.co.jp/pinarello_opera/catalog/ - Your Leonardo is in there. If you read Japanese (I do not), there'll presumably be marketing hype.
Thanks for this - appreciated.
