True - thanks for the clarification. I was speaking for my current set up. THose 110mm valve tubes are hard to find (at least at my local bike shop).

Im sorry but the pinarello is UGLY, granted it probably cost more than a years rent for me. But man oh man that thing screams an ugly yell. Im sure its fast and comfy but I just cannot get over the horrible aesthetics of everything on it. But hey to the owner... ride the fu(k out of that.
That bridgestone is awesome.

These last few pages are so full of win for all tastes.
Pinarello + Bridgestone + Orbea + Cannondale (the last blacked out one) = WIN
And none of them have a fugly Shimano crankset! I think this streak of beautiful bikes will never repeat

I'd take this over the red monstrosities in a heartbeat. The only thing I'd do on this bike is get rid of the easton decals.
