Can You Win The Tour De France On A 150€ Pinarello With Dura-Ace 7800?

[@jameskenneally5644]

I walked into a high end bike shop in Brighton Massachusetts with a 1000 brand new high end bikes.the only bike that caught my eye was the classic pinarello hanging in the ceiling.

[@RandolphBumatay]

I walked in that same Brighton shop. $4k for bikes with 105 groupset. $8k bikes with Ultegra. I'll take the old school bike with Ultegra or Dura Ace for $700.

[@dougpence3862]

I have used that 7800 crank on a training bike for 15 years, great, no problems...will use for the next 15 years!

[@uptown710]

Yooo you had me dying last night DR. I was giving my bike a once over and replaced a slow leaking rear inner tube. When it was time to put the tire back on I looked up one of your old vids on how to do so Worked like a fuxking charm. “You really can’t front on this guy” I had said to myself. I’m planning to take a overseas bike tour in Adelaide 2025. Hope to bump into you there. Stay up bro 💪🏾

[@durianriders]

💯❤️👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@michaelspangenberg2792]

Got a 2014 Specialized Ruby Comp rim brake in mint condition with full Ultegra for my wife yesterday. $400 on Marketplace in Melbourne. The deals are there:). This bike is sick, and to be honest I am a little jealous ...LOL

[@EBikeBuilder_]

I'm looking forward to a 200$ chain joke in every future video 🤣

[@waysidetimes9226]

Just got a 2011 Scott CR-1 Race... Holy cow talk about fast. Those older rim brake race bikes are 100% legit.

[@paulround4691]

I have a 2010 CR1 and two 2019 Emondas , Disc and direct mount... the Scott with 150,000 kms is still my favourite mountain climbing bike and ridden a least twice a week, and the lightest by a kilo!

[@waysidetimes9226]

@paul round it's insanely light. Love climbing on it. Smokes the shit out of my gravel bike lol

[@ingtoningtonington149]

Very nice. Wanted this bike back in the day but just out of my price range. Bought the Opera frameset with Record 10 instead. Steel frame with carbon rear end just like the Prince. Rode it yesterday evening, it's light and fast and very smooth, after 23 years and 1000s of miles .Still using the original Rolf Vector Pro wheelset. Very light wheelset back in 2000 and still quite light by today's standards. Durian's analysis is spot on. I wouldn't fancy maintaining a high end modern bike either but I'm happy to work on bikes of this era .

[@judosteffer]

Got me a 2017 Boardman Team Carbon for £400 UK GBP. absolutely immaculate rim brake bike, stuck some nice wheels on, change of saddle and its 7.5 kilos. Awesome for the money and still easy to service as cables largely on the outside and its rim brake.

[@georgeszaslavsky]

Dura Ace 7800 is my favorite group set, it is the groupset that I chose for my roadbike projects

[@James.P.D]

I’ve got the fassa bortolo version rides very well, looks a 2001 frame with a newer group set from 04

[@jimihendrix731]

Definitely faster than any of the clunky wank-tanks their sponsors are forcing them to race on nowadays.

[@LCerca]

Good to see that so many riders are still on the 9 & 10 speed Shimano and SRAM stuff. Stuff lasts forever if you keep it tuned, clean and lubed.

[@alupangguam7560]

DA 7800 is the last of the full polish finish and hard anodizing & highest quality Shimano ever made. But 7900's fatter hoods feel *so* much better to me and the slightly tidier cockpit is cleaner with very little difference in shifting performance. And I happen to like 7900's "XTR" industrial looking crank. Subjective but yeah. 7800 & 7900 can't be beat.

[@NickTubeless]

I have DuraAce 7800 on my bike & it's superb. Only thing is it was 53/39 up front & it's very hilly where I live & I'm getting older, so reluctantly I swapped to an Ultegra compact crank 50/34 but kept the DuraAce bottom bracket. Couldn't swap in a 34 ring on the 7800 because the bolt spacing is too big. A new DA crank was a bit pricey. Everything else, brakes, derailleurs, levers all 7800 & still work & look like new after 25,000 miles.

[@mreese8764]

You can add a dropout extender and run larger cassettes, possibly also change/lengthen the B(?) screw at the derailleur. The one that swivels the derailleur forward and backward and connects to the dropout piece where the derailleur is mounted.

[@Connor-zw6gz]

Hey DR :) Sorry for the off topic question! But do you think its ok to have a fasted blood sugar level of 3.8mmol/L first thing in the morning? It was 3.8 this morning and 4.0 yesterday. I can't say PRECISELY how much fat i've been eating recently but I know 100% its 20% or less. Probably around 15%. So probably no more than 20-30g's. Thank YOU ! :) :)

[@DinkAndDrive]

Harley you gotta make videos of you picking up these bikes and record while checking on them before buying, Would love to see the behind the scenes of what to look for when buying a bike!!!

[@Stufferburg]

Good enough for the dopers, good enough for us. Hell yeah DR

[@sc4140]

Hi Durian! Living the videos, very helpful, as I've been getting i to cycling the last 2yrs. Just a question, I always see older style TT bikes for sale cheaper than a road bike, would it be appropriate to swap put the handlebars on the tt bike to normal ones and use it as a roadie? Or nah that doesn't work like that?

[@durianriders]

Yes you can do that no probs BUT the reason most TT don’t get ridden much is the geo is super aggressive. Can your cervical structure handle that?

[@sc4140]

@@durianriders thanks for getting back to me! Ok, right, having never ridden a TT i wouldn't of known. I should get onto a geometry site and have a look, thanks. In regards to my cervix, I'm fairly advanced in my current yoga practice (ashtanga) and very open in my hips. Not too sure if that helps..?

[@MikeBodo]

This was an awesome bike and the one riddent by Team Telekom.

[@chriss6971]

Wow a nice looking pinarello, the new ones looks hideous

[@mountaindewman-ky4nw]

That is a great Aluminum/Carbon combo.

[@BigKeith510]

I just bought a SL2 Specialized for 350 usd loving it.

[@christiankeim]

I'm glad you feel the same I do about doping. Lol is what it is

[@endurogym3714]

I just went on gumtree and bought my first road bike cost me 150 buks. This is a bike that has never been ridden brand new rims, brake pads, drive train brand new from 2010. its just sat in someones apartment in the city collecting dust.

[@savagepro9060]

If you're old enough, aluminium is silver carbon!

[@gclh22]

Better than any bike you'll pay 10k plus for these days

[@durianriders]

💯💯💯💯 IYKYK

[@gclh22]

@@durianriders I ride a 2014 Genesis Volare 953 size 52 cm dura ace mechanical but 9000 C24 wheels and zipp finishing kit, 7 kg with bottle cages and pedals! Knocks lumps out of any carbon bike for quality. I sold those Prices frames for years and the SL model after that . the fork and seat stay were made by Time so the carbon quality is excellent

[@davidcraig2532]

Lovely bike. Been chatting with my friends on this exact topic recently Of getting an older pinnarello, something affordable with a classic groupset on it. Don't exactly need a 3rd bike, but sure.......technically didn't need the second one either, lol 😂

[@joed7185]

Gorgeous bike. I'd love to have bought a used bike but its hard to find in my size. Had to go with the '22 Specialized Allez Elite. The only new bike you can get in a Rim Brake. I think it might be the last year that Specialized offer Allez in Rim Brake. Have a feeling it will be disc for now one. Hope im wrong.

[@seansims8805]

Those tires are $80 for a set retail ... I live in Seattle and got about the same mind frame just not the km's and road race experience...54 , 1st generation BMX stuff and pre suspension mtb , courier, comute , early suspension then kids but now I'm only on drops and going thru the eras . I'm on a 2012 focus izalco pro . Roval sl45 105 10spd carbon bars seat post specialized aluminum stem , saddle , double tape bars and i have conti ultra sport 28s squeezed on ,(only clean tarmac) dt Swiss 1500s axis hub with pirelli p7 sport (there gator skin) 26s for all other tines ...rides so good .gonna get the latest 11spd ultegra and then we will play used bin catch up with disc stuff...2020 and up ...but here in Seattle it's pretty good pickings if ya keep just one eye open ...the rim brake throw away hasn't ended ...tech from 2k especially 2010 and up is such awsome stuff for all the reasons you stated . . . I service homeless peeps and stranded kids the margins and spread that stoke and knowledge...cheers to ya D

[@MikeBodo]

Harley, how 'bout the great bikes from Time, Look and Orbea from the early to mid-2000's. Do you come across many of those?

[@durianriders]

Watch my next vids! 😉

[@bradford_shaun_murray]

Lovely bike. I'm sensing a new series, the "can you win the tour de france on a...?" series. 2:08 yep for sure.

[@trajtemberg]

Australian used market seems great.

[@durianriders]

The best deals are Thailand, USA, UK, Germany, Canada, Spain, France, Belgium, NZ and Holland. I broker for people worldwide.

[@olekmehera7256]

Thats a legit bike! I would swap the tyres for gp5000 and hit any climb with passion and gusto knowing the bike isnt holding me back :)

[@robertolsen9721]

Great! Only the wheels cost equivalent of 1400 USD here in Sweden new.

[@stevenanderson2285]

Just bought a canyon ultimate cf six dura ace 2012 absolute beauty. Thanks durian rider for helping me appreciate the classics

[@champsinatra5388]

Thanks so much for these videos what do you think about the sworks sl5? Was thinking of getting one but heard about the ring of death from you - does that apply to the sl5?

[@durianriders]

ALL carbon steerers can have that issue. Any material needs to be checked routinely. I drop my forks out every few thousand km to clean headset. I check fork condition at the same time.

[@MrBillboeing]

Squirt is good for me , my chains last at least 10k and I am around 84kg heavy…

2017 specialized S-Works rim brake is what I ride

[@alexapirot32]

You should do a comparison between the pinarello and a modern disk brake bike and compare the data. Gcn style

[@durianriders]

I have. Watch my vids on the SL7 and how much slower it is vs race bikes like this.

[@peterkert]

just bought a second hand rim brake, 11s bike. Gave me a big smile

This seems to be the same frame as the orbea aqua. Same rear carbon fork. Same shape tubing. Same eyelets.

[@cbb3062]

The thing about these bikes is yes they can climb but they are not as areo on the flats as newer bikes

[@durianriders]

😂😂😂 then how come I BLAST past instagram Fred’s on there ‘aero road disc clunkers’ ❤️ They are often half my age and are trying. I can see them in my BM45 trying to throw down watts but all the extra spokes and the rotors catch the wind at speed lol

[@cbb3062]

@durianrider because disc's are bad, I'm talking about bikes such as pinarello f and so on some 2018 models like bmc and cervelo are definitely more areo with rim breaks than this bike. But we can agree that disc's are bad 👍

[@medarhosoloistarider6515]

can you help me buy afordable old tdf level bike to be ship here in the phils.? thank you

[@durianriders]

Be cheaper to get one there boss. The fat rich lawyer riders sell them cheap and fast. Shipping to Ph would be about 400USD no? Get a quote and let me know.
