No I bought it, already painted as a Pinarello, but paid less than Specialized $$ for it, it was right size and price and Deore. After I bought it, I put it up on the forum to get help with identification (cause it sure did not look like any Dogma). The BF, as usual, was amazing and someone quickly posted the pic of the Specialized Rockhopper Comp and "that's your bike!' So I have been riding around on a hilarious imposter since. I was thinking about stripping it now, because the repaint is failing badly, and it draws a lot of attention. Would be happy to have this one be more subtle, instead of a fake Italian billboard.
