I think I saw that first Pinarello at the bike Show last month.
Realistically how much faster is it compared to a 3-5k pleb bike? Sure I'd love it but I see so many rich people buying insane bikes, most end up on Kijji for pennies on the dollar or ridden to the cafe in Westmount
Meanwhile 65yr old dood passes you up the mountain on an 80s De Rosa
With my job I ride about 5 to 15 different road bike per summer ranging from 3.5K to 20K.
Is there a significant difference between a 3K bike and a 20K ? Yes. Is it worth the money ? No.
The average price range for big difference in terms of performance goes like this :
1K to 3K
3K to 7-8K
After that there isn’t much. I’d prefer 2X 8K bikes than one 16-17K bike performance wise since the margin of performance is minimal in Theses price range.
If I had the budget for an other 16K bike it wouldn’t be a carbon one anyway. Way to generic, soulless and common.
At that price I’d go for something custom like my Stinner
