Hi, it's hot but it would be hotter with a vintage quill stem. The steerer tube clamp on the threadless stem looks too heavy on top of the headset and in proportion to the 1" steerer. Also, the current original fork is the only way to go IMHO. Very nice bike.

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

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.

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.)

Not
ideas to help get it there...
fix that saddle tilt, cut that nub, flatten out those bars, black OR white cages, white bar tape to match the saddle or get black saddle.

Yeah - the white cage isn't supposed to be there... Needed it for a ride yesterday. I'm actually putting a new full carbon handlebar on it tomorrow, I'll flatten the bars then. That will get it down to 16lb 2oz. Not really sure why they sell this bike with a white post and seat... Going to look weird when I put a new black saddle on it. And the nub.... yeah I know... I've only had it for a couple months... Been hesitant to cut it myself.

Somebody suggested mismatched bottle cages for my BMC.I don't understand the esthetics behind such move and I find it utterly absurd.Did the seat post come white from the factory? If it did they are smoking some good sh** in there. Also why did you turn your seat post forward and then pushed your seat all the way back?!!!
Strange!

And yes - they must be smoking something to put a white post and seat on this bike.

And for photographic purposes, look at what gear you have this thing in!!! The derailleur police will come confiscate your bike...
