Quick note to say that I am now the proud owner of an Italian thoroughbred, the Pinarello FP2 56cm. I went out to Ivanhoe Cycles http://www.ivanhoecycles.com.au/ after work today and test rode the Fp2.
(Quick Note: Awesome store, encourage you to take any bike out for a test ride prior to purchase as opposed to - CBD Cycles: who lost a customer and a sale last week when they did not allow me test a bike, their loss and considering I purchased 3 bikes from them over the years, rather disappointing, word of mouth spreads too!)
Back to FP2, in a nutshell, it rode like a dream! Fast, responsive, stiff and it looks AWESOME. I go back in tomorrow to make some minor tweaks to the setup, perhaps a stem length change which has a 120mm on it. It is running Ultegra SL 10spd and I just cannot wait until Sunday to get out on it (weather must be good, do not want to get it dirty). Here it is in all it's beauty.

Agree with your CBD comments. I wouldn't even buy a tube from them. Anyway, nice rig. When do plan on having a race on it?? Stormy.
So, will see you thursday night down at Altona testing the new purchase out? Look forward to spinning the legs on the roadies in the future.
We should all boycott CBD!!
I'm amased that CBD wouldnt help you out!!!. Maybe loosing 1 customer wont hurt but you rightfully mentioned "word of mouth". Ivanhoe cycles got themselves any easy sale based on "customer service" now there's a shock!!!!
My coin wont be hitting the CBD till in the future.
Hmmmmmmmm,
There is a rumor being past round that the "new beauty" spent the first couple of nights snug and warm under the blankets in bed next to you - Kerry was sent to the spare bedroom - hope theres no grease marks on the sheets - ha ha - enjoy, he/she looks stunning.
