Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Cannondale Super Six or System Six. Buy American. Those Orbeas are made by Basque terrorists. For all you know the CF in your bike is from the same sheet that suppolied the tubing for their last pipe bomb.

Next question.

Whichever one is red.

Failing that, Pinarello has much greater bling factor than Orbea.

if it's a choice between the two, then pinarello is the way to go.

I have an Orbea; will be building up a Pinarello frame. I suggest you test ride both then pick the one that feels the best and not worry about what faceless strangers think; except for the advice I'm giving you, of course.

This is one of the most ******** answers I've seeing in a long time you should be ashamed of yourself,I will not start a political warfare here, however you wear and consume goods from Communist China,Vietnam where the lives of more that 60K valuable Americans were lost and you come up with that garbage,if your bicycle has one part from Shimano you should be ashamed also because Pearl Harbor ..!!! you are nothing but an Idiot and I bet most of everybody here may think the same way toward you.


+++ To the original question now.. I don't know how flexi the frame of the Pinarello F3 :13 is but I'll tell you I had an Onix for 8 months and it is flexi ,flexi,no very good for sprinting,check the Orbea Opal 2007 to see what price you can get, that one is a much better bike than the Onix and the F3:13.

Get the one that fits best. If that doesn't suit your tastes do what the Pros do and relabel the frame.
