Pinarello have officially unveiled their 2020 collection, and it includes a lighter version of the recently launched Dogma F12 and F12 disc suitably called the F12 X-Light. You might need to work a couple of extra shifts to get one though, as the price is £6,000 and £6,200 just for the rim and disc framesets respectively.
New Pinarello Dogma F12 and F12 Disk launched
The Dogma F12 X-Light uses Pinarello's Torayca T1100 UD Dream Carbon material, which results in a 100g reduction in weight compared with the standard F12 frame. This unfortunately means a rider weight limit of 85kg, so you'll have to lose pounds from your waist and your wallet if you want one.
Throw on a set of suitably high-end carbon hoops like those in the pic above and with a full Shimano-Dura Ace groupset, and you can work out what kind of ballpark we're talking for a full bike... most likely well exceeding the five figure barrier.
If you're not a bilionaire then you might be more enthused by Pinarello's new Razha Disc. They say it "provides signature Pinarello technology at a competitive price point", and it comes sensibly specced with hydraulic disc brake, clearance for 28mm tyres and a Shimano 105 groupset. The full bike is priced at £2,500.
Also new is the Prince FX disc (prices from £5,500) and the Nytro Gravel, an adventure version of Pinarello's Nytro e-road bike with Fazua's removable Evation motor and battery system - this will set you back £6,000.
The X-Light and Nytro Gravel will be available from selected Pinarello stockists from October 2019, while the Prince FX Disc and Razha Disk are available from July.
Let's hope he doesn't read Road CC, the amount of articles they write putting a downer on him.
Only reading the headline on the homepage, not the rest of the article, but I only ride mountain bikes and I still get close passed...
Fair enough, personal experience may trump (not that one) theory. However, the bonking I have experienced has been due to lack of carbs. Your point...
Agreed, but he was still right to publicise the event. The police, if they're anything like Lancashire, will do nothing at all.

How can anybody reject the beauty of that? It's a wonderful mix of modern tech yet absolutely functional.
Not unless theVED is made eye wateringly expensive....
in the UK we have policing which to a greater or lesser extent relies on assistance from members of the public......
Just wanted to share a quick thank you to everyone who helped out in this thread....
So...don't cycle on it. Lots of other routes around that area. Source: I used to work there.
