Irrational desire to ride a Pinarello Dogma

Already watched it!! Curious to see where it's set and how much I need to adjust.

I figured someone had to bite the bullet and help Clean39T out.....so his K8-S is heading down the west coast to its new home. Excited to build it up and compare it to my Trek Domane Classics.

Have always enjoyed the Pinarello frames I've owned (Prince, magnesium Dogma FP), and I'm glad to have one back in the stable.

LOL, Dan and I rode a bit the other day. Me Team Issue Domane, Dan the F-8.

I am curious as to how much the rear stay shock make the Pino cush more than the not rally very cushy Classics Team Issue. A brief convo we had rolling on our short ride together...

Everybody is finally coming to their senses.

Been on the F8 since the very beginning and enjoyed every minute of it.

Finally!! We can all breath easy. 44 pages and maybe we should rename the forum, taking into account the love for one particular brand, but not Serotta,

THE PINARELLO FORUM

appropriate Sky blue colour included for free.

Hey folks, does anyone here own a dogma or GAN and ride a saddle height around 73cm center of BB to top of saddle? What size are you using, and could you post a pic?
I'm familiar with stack and reach, etc., and as best I can tell I could probably make either a '53' or '54' work. One would have more seat post showing...
Oddly every geo chart I look at for the GAN shows the '54' as actually having a slightly shorter reach than the '53', even though the TT is longer....

Thx!

GREAT Idea! I've been on the kool-aid since 2016 as an F8 owner. The kids on other forums (that will not be mentioned) all scowled and frowned on me back then. Ha. Its not all about the lightest bike/frameset (oops).

Ok i will say it...personally, I think the Pinarello Dogma is one of the ugliest frame design I have ever seen with my naked eye...wish I could unsee it. I mean...i know that looks are subjective so you are certainly entitled to your opinion. But I am not gonna run around and praise the Emperor for his new clothes when all I can see is carbon molding design gone bad in the heating process or some kid they hired fresh out of design school who took his mum's dress and cut up into funny shapes and call it Art.

I am sure the bike rides phenomenally, though.

Yeah looking at just the frame I hear you but I think properly built up, like the InGamba bikes (yes I now have a bias) they look good just as I think Lamborghinis look good in their own way.

I think they look cool. Are they ugly? sure if you compare it to what a bike is "suppose" to look but when they are built with nice group, some nice wheels then they can look great. Some of the new colors are pretty nice. I also think the older ones look nicer than the F12s.

However I do think a Sworks Tarmac looks better.

Like Imaking20s tarmac

I was exercising the Thumper Doctrine myself... until now I can agree with someone else's comment that is.


What I find funny personally is seeing Froome on one. Wonky meets wonky looks wise, an AU commentator once said he looks like a frog in a sock riding a crooked mile on a crooked bike [I added that last part]...

Now that I obliterated the Thumper Doctrine, I will say to each his/her own of course.

They do look at bit funky.

I’m thankful for these threads though. I rode my F8 today. It sure is something of note.

Still need to toe my (howling) Bora WTO pads. I can literally stop traffic, and make dogs crap/bark/snarl/bite on demand.

Bike is a stone cold killer.

Towing will stop the noise?

I’ve seen it somewhere, but can you explain how it’s done?
