PSA: Excel sports deal on Pinarello TT bike
 
Don't know how many they have, sizes, etc. But it is a substantial markdown.

Maybe a good deal, but wow, is that frame ugly. :eek:

Apparently...according to another thread...don't buy a Campy kit in Europe and allow them to install it:)

If it's on the the internet...on sale...and your circle of knowledgeable friends are non-existent....and you have to ask a bunch of strangers...on the internet...if it's a good deal...don't do it

2010 TT only frameset with zubaz-style graphics from a grey market seller with questionable warranty support!

Obviously my entire post was meant to be tongue in cheek in response to the earlier digs at excel. But these seem to be team TT rigs and not sure how excel or any other retailer handles these wrt warranty and manufacturer support.

Anyone have evidence of full manufacturer support for items not originally meant for consumer purchase?

Excel is not a grey market seller. They are a very reputable Pinarello dealer.

I like to wonder how many Paceliners are going through the mental exercise of whether they can justify this purchase. Somehow. I mean, that BOBB 610 sure looks good, right?

Will ask again - are team bikes covered by same warranties and protections as consumer products? I honestly don’t know, and it’s not clear if they are based on the info at excel.

But if these are simply team paint scheme consumer frames then yes, not grey market at all.

Still can’t abide by the Sinbad sweater graphics.

A cervelo S2 for 700 bucks is not a bad deal at all... if it cracks cervelo has to honor the warranty and you might get a 2019 frame instead. maybe?

Several pinarellos but for normal to super short people, either way the numbers arent bad at all.

From the website “They are being sold as new in box and come with full Pinarello factory warranty.”

That is your opinion.

Anyways listed by Pinarello as a dealer.
