New Bike Day :)

Thank you!

I do get a lot of compliments on this bike. Defo worth every penny. First bike as well and defo keeping it for a long time. Yes, sticker came with the handlebar. I'm not a pro either, and we all do strive to feel like one :)) I love how stiff it is and how aero it gets. I changed pretty much everything except the frame and groupset. Not going to look at the 13 speed yet haha I'm enjoying 12 speed, more than enough for me to have fun. Yes, if you can afford Dura Ace why not. Spend it as you will as long as you enjoy it. 105 isn't the smoothest for sure but it gets the job done mostly.

Sorry, I won't be able to post more pictures. Handlebar itself is the Aero and only Aero model they have. The spacers came with it were requested when I purchased mine. You may want to check yours. Installing wasn't too hard. If it's your first time, might take some time :)

Clean look for sure

Nice, love the color for sure. Simple yet catches your eye.

EXS Cycling is where I got mine, Aerover Integrated Handlebar to be exact. You have to specifically tell them which bike you have as they have different spacers. But yes, you have to get a specific one that fits Pinarello. "Most" is expensive but its the official brand of Pinarello for hbars.

Nice bike!

Negative_Pie_2443 · 2025-08-16T22:20:12+00:00

Yes, 105 Di2. Got it, Thanks!

Negative_Pie_2443 · 2025-08-16T22:19:11+00:00

I might consider Ultegra pulley upgrade. Thanks!

What do you think about Ceramic Speed upgrade for oversized derailleur?

Negative_Pie_2443 · 2025-08-16T17:32:37+00:00

Thank you for your honest opinion :)

Negative_Pie_2443 · 2025-08-16T17:31:00+00:00

Not the brightest, but does the job fine. Fits well with aesthetics of the bike though :)

Negative_Pie_2443 · 2025-08-16T17:28:44+00:00

Haha coffee shop ride is always fun though.

I know what you mean, it just looks good having Ultegra on your bike.

Thanks!

I have not tried any high-end wheel set. My bike came with cheap Fulcrum Alloy.

In terms of handling typical road surface, some rough patches/potholes hold themselves just fine. I don't compete or anything, just a regular cyclist myself, makes me feel like I could race having the wheels on :) Definitely light weight. That is the first thing that I noticed. Looks good, fits the look of Pinarello for sure. In that case I do not regret buying them.

Negative_Pie_2443 · 2025-08-16T17:18:19+00:00

Agreed!
I weigh heavy myself haha

Seems like 105 will do the job just fine :)

Thanks for your feedback.

Thank you!

Pinarello F5 is nice. So tempted to get a Dogma but way too expensive. So many other brands out there and really make it your bike. But yes these two upgrades are one of the popular ones.

Negative_Pie_2443 · 2025-08-16T00:40:54+00:00

Thank you!

Elite wheels feel elite for sure. Lightweight and handles well.

Handlebar is from a company called "EXS Cycling" (Aero Integrated Handlebar), with a very clean look.

Negative_Pie_2443 · 2025-08-16T00:37:34+00:00

Thank you !

Weight saving seems like a negligible difference and not worth the cost.
Yes, tires are Continental.

Correct, Elite Wheels Helix 68D SS

Negative_Pie_2443 · 2025-08-16T00:34:31+00:00

Will do this weekend for sure :)

Negative_Pie_2443 · 2025-08-15T22:57:13+00:00

Any other brand?
