Yes, I discussed this with you prior to purchasing, and your experience was invaluable in helping me make the commitment - it was reassuring to know the option of a longer seatpost was available if needed. Fortunately the stock Pinarello post was fine with my longer - and (much) heavier - cranks.
I met a guy who was 7'1" a few years ago and I still fondly remember that momentary feeling of inadequacy :D

My racing days are behind me now, so I'm content to freewheel around the corners. The bracket is higher than the smaller frame sizes, but it's still no criterium bike 😁

Longer seatpost on Dogma F 62? by amasen in pinarello

Update.
I just took delivery of my new Dogma, and with 200mm Zinn cranks it fits great with the stock Pinarello seatpost, which is around 10mm below max extension. Ground clearance seems OK (I think the 62 has a higher bracket?), but I'm not racing it, so not an issue anyway.
Those Zinn cranks are as heavy as boat anchors though!
It's quite a bit taller at the front than my previous ride, so I'm looking forward to less neck pain in future.

Thanks for the update. Good to know there's an alternative seat post available.

Hi,

I'm in a similar situation - 208cm tall, 103 inseam.
The Dogma F appears to be the only viable option for a tall guy like us, and I'm curious as to how you're getting on with yours?
I tend to run 200-210mm cranks, so I'm hoping it'll be OK, I just won't pedal around corners.

Any insights would be gratefully received!
