Pinarello Opera Road Frameset
My Pinarello Opera
By Terry Hanna May 31, 2010
I bought my Pinarello Opera about four
years ago and had no clue what I was buying.
Today it doesn't matter because while everyone is
hooked on carbon(paying rediculous prices) I 'm
floating on a cloud with my Opera, it handles like my Lotus and just flies down hills as smooth and rock solid as any carbon bike. After two hours of hammering the pavement with my friends the fatigue factor is not as bad as the riders I left behind.
Yes, at ninteen pounds it's heavy by carbon standards, but suck it up and get in shape and loose five pounds off your gut.
