I'm amazed that the manufacturer would even go the time wasting labour intensive route of working with all that filling material just to achieve a 'clean' looking joint. With a bike maker such as Pinarello, they should surely have better ways of putting these things together that would save time and money. I was going to buy a Prince or an Opera frame some while ago, but the delivery cost to me in the end was really pretty close to that of a Moots Vamoots Ti frame, so i went with that instead. I still like to look at the Pinarellos when i see them, but i'm not going to own one anytime soon.Cracks optional??? -------------------- Its time to ride. Post Extras
