1st Ride Impressions - Worlds Lightest Pinarello F5 (6.8kg 56cm)

[@DoctorDagobert]

Very nice build, very impressive weight! Did you weigh the frame+fork? 6.9 with 105 di2. Who is the supplier for those wheels? 1250g for rims that wide is amazing!

[@Jacob99174]

Same, what wheels are those?

[@kimwarner6050]

Probably farsports. I have a 50mm set that weighs 1218

[@garyfan3526]

incredible weight with the 105! Like this approach

[@HeyWattsUpCycling]

thanks, as long as you ditch the 105 cassette & chain you get legitimately ALL the performance of dura ace, and with da chain and cassette its lighter than full ultegra and cheaper than full ultegra as well. Forgot to mention in the video, the ONLY difference between the 105 and DA mechanically is there is no shifter hood top thumb shifter buttons, which I dont use anyways.

@@HeyWattsUpCycling Ultegra/DA front ring shifts faster than 105.

[@HeyWattsUpCycling]

never shifted either! big ring 4 life!@@udtrader

You must have serious pedal force to overcome that saddle pointing straight down without killing your wrists. Nice bike.

[@HeyWattsUpCycling]

it is down only 1.5*, the back 25% is a raised/scoop you push back into/against and dont sit on it, the other 75% is flat that your sitting on. It's the same profile that the original madone saddle is just with zero padding which makes it more noticeable. check out the one thats on my current slr9 in the vid I just threw up they are side by side.

How do you like the Vittoria tires? I just burnt through a set of Pirellis, just didn't last.

[@HeyWattsUpCycling]

good & light. I HATE pirelli's. cant go wrong with pretty much anything else.

[@murcielago188]

Nice. Who makes those wheels?

[@JFomo]

So how did you bring the weight down to 6.8kg?

[@michaeldekoning7754]

Nice bike

[@Music-pq8cm]

What’s with the saddle downward tilt?

[@HeyWattsUpCycling]

hi there, the saddle is actually only down ~1.5*, it has a slopped tail section (that you dont sit on/in) but use to push against when your really grinding. If your a "nose sitter" like I am these type of saddles are awesome, flat from center forward and sloped rear acts like a brace to push against. Theres also a little divot/pocket on each side for the sit bones to kind of settle into if you look closely before it sweeps up.

What kind of bottle cages are those?

[@HeyWattsUpCycling]

ive been trying to find them again for over a year, forget where I found them, got 2 sets for both my madones back then.. crazy light, stiff, reliable.

Here is the bike listing - www.pinkbike.com/buysell/3839000/

[@baltimorejae7397]

Name of wheels please?

[@HeyWattsUpCycling]

they are for sale as well as my 55mm versions if you like. they are custom made

[@Gufolicious]

You should really check your scales. No way this bike is 6,8kg ever. It is 100% impossible.

[@derekcranson2307]

I got a f12 dogma size 51.5 and i managed to drop the weight of the bike to 6.7kg with 48mm depth wheels.

[@derekcranson2307]

This bike weights way over 7 kg with 105 groupset.i went with the most expensive parts to get my bike to 6.7kg with pedals and bottle cages.

[@DoctorDagobert]

Agreed! Weight seems quite a bit too low tbh...

[@RobbArmstrong1]

I've been looking at the F5 as an alternative to the F12 or F. Your F5 a great looking Bike! Bars are dope too, I need to conduct some research on them. #RobbArmstrong
