So would I, but it's not worth it. The stock fork weighs 700g and feels perfect.

I can't blame you. An Easton ec90sl would drop a fair bit of weight but wouldn't look right. Columbus has a fork that would look ok but may not be worth the cost, and the proper threadless colnago fork would just be plain expensive.

It's probably the only type of "Rello" I can afford... :cry: ;)

I was looking @ the 12 Dogma II Frameset the other day.

Hot, with the same comment about the stem as I made regarding mazdaspeed's Colnago.

If you look at it, the Lightning one has so many holes! I emailed them asking for a price quote shipped to Canada and they never gave me a response. Last email I got was like "I'm still investigating the price, I'll let you know when I have it"

A week later, I ordered the S-works one

Understand completely, those things are expensive. Are the rims real?

It's all real.

It's a Pinarello ROKH B.O.B.

Certainly Asian with the Shimano and Toray 30HM12K fiber, but wheels are ENVE from the USA with DT240 on front and PowerTap SL+ on the back.

I understand the spacers comments, but being over 40 and riding mostly centuries, it works for me.

And yes, I was a little disappointed that Pinarello would not have a braze-on front, but the ride-feel, handling, and fit made up for that.

Keep it coming ;)

What makes you think this is counterfeit? I can point out four different things on that frame that say it's an authentic Pinarello Rokh. Does that have a clamp on front derailleur? lol really? The rokh comes from the factory with a clamp on FD! I'd be suspicious had the frame had a braze on FD. I'd be willing to be his wheels are legit too.

Nice bike despite the spacer stack jambo... ignore these clowns.

Wasn't aware of that. Sorry about the comment and questions.

Age has got nothing to do with it and no body cares what works for you.
Spacer tower not hot.

I feel you. I always have the option of going back I guess but the stiffness...



The Mapei colnago is great BTW

Nice looking bike, the spacers do throw it off a bit from looking "pro", but you have to ride what fits. Question though, if you are really just riding centuries, why the Enves? Do you think they give you an advantage of some sort, or was it just a question of wanting wheels (for whatver reason) and feeling like the money was worth fulfilling your desire? There are disadvantages to them over other types (cross wind, etc) so I was curious why you would go for them if you are the type of "century rider" the tone of your post seems to indicate. (Other than the obvious ... looks, of course.)
