I sold the Pinarello (gasp!) and purchased a Felt TK4130.
WHY???
Well, I have been working part time at Chainwheel Drive bike shop in Clearwater, FL since May 14th in sales there and they do not sell Pinarello, the Pin was/is a great bike but being aluminum and not spec'd as a true track bike I thought I'd be better off with a 4130 steel, true geometery track bike.
I was able to sell the Pin on eBay and buy the Felt for close to the same money so the cash flow of the deal was good.
I got it in right before the 12 Hours of St Pete "alleycat race" and wanted to use it for that (more on that race on a different post).
I have it rigged up two ways; as a "pure track bike & for training/racing on the road fixed.
More reviews on it later but I love it so far.
Ciao,
Rick
