Hey we're component twins! Or at least very close:
Please disregard the pedals - I am waiting for my Sidis to come in so I can put on my Look Keo carbons
Oh and your BMC = HOT!

Thanks for the comment, I am new to cycling, I had never been on a bike until March this year, I have to have my feet touch the ground, I am always worry I may fall, and the Pinarello size 54 is big, more like 56, that takes away some of the saddle height, but I am learning to get on and get off the bike without sitting in the saddle. The bar is a standard Most bar with integrated stem, I agree with you on the wheels, I may find something else when the budge allows.

It is not a chinarello, it is the real Pinarello Paris, I bought it used but in pristine condition for a good price.
When I reach a sudden stop, I like to have my toe touch the ground for balance, also for get on and get off from the bike.

Why for following the meaning of this thread, and answering the request of the guy who posted the pic? If you don't agree with me fine, but most everyone else on here have eyes that work, and will agree with me. So STFU please.
Correct.
Also correct.

I had white/white on my 09. Then white saddle, white tape, black hoods. Then black saddle, black tape, white hoods. Now I'm happy that all black looks good on this one because I never have to clean it. I had a picture of your bike saved on my phone as the inspiration for mine! What brakes are you using?

Dayum! The recent temp closure here caused this thread to get even hotter.
Classic example of how even bad press is good press.
