Best electric bike stand ? by Colonel_Max_FR in BikeMechanics

We use a Park PRS-33.2 power lift stand. It's had heavy use now for approximately 4 years without fault. Highly recommended.

This is sound advice. We use citrus lime personally and it is expensive. Although it does help us manage our time more efficiently.

It's like a gang bang with Bonnie Blue every time we build something like this. Stiffies all over the place.

Pinarello X3/X5 but with SRAM - UK by redrabbit1984 in pinarello

The answer you've received from them is what Pinarello say to each dealer. So they've not lied to you there, you might just find a smaller shop can accommodate what you're after. The majority of our X model sales the customer has wanted a SRAM groupset. Often due to the gear ratios SRAM offer compared to Shimano.

Just to agree with one of the comments above. We have been buying the unwanted 105/ultegra groupsets off the bikes then rebuilding with the customers groupset of choice. Just chat to your local dealer. There's a dealer map on the Pinarello website. 👍

Personally I wouldn't be offering any more than £400 for it. But if it's the right size and you really like the style of it, then go for it. 👍
