Looks like the first OEM Di2 bike--the Pinarello Prince Di2
Built from scratch for Di2, with internal wiring etc....
I won't be riding Di2 any time soon and the cost is obviously still ridiculous, but this would seem to hint at what the future holds in terms of bike design. That wiring harness thingy hanging off the bar looks a little cumbersome but I can't get a good look at it.

OK, so maybe not the first. My mistake.

Yeah, I'm not such a fan of the MO.st stuff, or the "charisma" wheels--should've stuck with Deda for the cockpit and Bora Ultra Twos for the wheels.
But WTH am I talking about--this thing is sooooo too rich for my blood that it'll never be an issue for me to worry about.

Looks like another rebadged PedalForce frame.

Yea, it's clearly not on the same level.
$5200 is what, $400 higher than the group is selling for by itself though? Even if you didn't want the frame, you could part the bike out and put it towards your Prince build and come out ahead.
