But after extensive searching I cannot find the size and color available anywhere (by "anywhere" I mean I called every Pinarello dealer on the West Coast), nothing. I'm also drawn to some of the upper tier Treks but the colorways that are offered are not catching my eye. .Fortunately I have plenty of time and I'll keep searching. I did see a couple of Orbea's that looked interesting.
If a Pinarello, Trek and Orbea can all tick most of your boxes, then so should a lot of other bikes too. Paint finish would be pretty low on my priority checklist - at least in terms of gloss vs matt. Obviously wouldn't want a colour scheme I hated.
