Winter Build
Putting together a CF Pinarello frame and 2012 Ultegra compact double. Santa has to bring the seat post and pedals. Hints on routing the both cables under the tape and dialing in the brifters out of the box. Build photos for follow once all are on hand.

Ok here is the actual frame once rec'd. 
Wheels are on the way. Once onhand let the assembly begin. The only snafu so far is a braze on FD was sent and a clamp/adapter or clamp-on will be needed. Winter in MI and recovery from hip replacement surgery make this a slow process. A great deal, for $2k +/- an all new pretty Pinarello will be under me in the spring.

An update picture with wheels. 
At the lbs now for group installation. Seat, seatpost, and pedals upon return. Won't ride it outside anyways until late winter. MI winter is tough and that is what my Trek 7.2 is for. Plus I'm still in recovery from right hip replacement (Nov. 1st). But they put me on the stationary bike for Physical Therapy (8 minutes last week) .... I didn't forget how to ride.

The stem is angled down. Will see about the seat once test riden. It is close to previous position. As a leader on several rides I fee obligated to carry enough self supported items to never be negligent. Low profile is just not enough sq cm of space.

The main question I have for people that get fake Pinarellos is this:
When your friends are all like "hey man sweet Pinarello", do you just say "thanks" or do you explain to them that it's actually not a real Pinarello, but a knock off look alike frame with Pinarello logos on it?
