And when you then reach double the price of your own bike you realize: It is hardly the bike, it is much more about how much and how you're training, at least above a certain minimum. But I understand that having ten grand under your bottoms must feel great - and how much greater for the bloke just overtaking you on his budget bike. Or her budget bike.

Well done. It's always fun to get a new bike. I've been eyeing the new Pinarello F/X5 with 105 DI2. It will be my first bike in about 13 years and my 2nd Pinarello in almost 40 years. So why the F/X5? The bike I had in 2011 or so was a Scott Speedster 50. Shimano Sora. Aluminum frame and carbon forks. That bike, which cost me 1/2 of my 1986 Dura-Ace equipped (and probably less when taking inflation into account), Columbus-framed Pinarello, was so superior. Absolutely. Super stiff. Superior shifting via the brake levers. It was a sad day when I sold it just a few months later... Lots of reasons. But I loved that bike.... So now, a new Pinarello. At $5k, I consider it quite expensive and it doesn't even come with Dura Ace. Not even close... The groupset is two rings underneath that. With inflation, another $800 should get me top of the line everything. But that Scott was so damn good. And that was 13 years ago. WIRELESS 105 is really another galaxy away. I was wondering for years when Shimano was going to do that. Total carbon and GORGEOUS finish. 1980's Italian bicycles in general had lousy quality when it came to paint jobs. So the new Piinarello will look good even when hanged up on the wall... 😛 If people want to spend money on Dura Ace.... That's fine if they'll enjoy it. I'll be completely happy with my 105. And beating them up those climbs. 😀

I think marketing wise, the people who want rim brakes are going to be more sensitive to price and thus may favor 2nd hand bikes. It becomes very difficult to compete in price with a new rim-brake model when your top-end rim-brake model from 3 years ago has better specs and is thus cannibalizing your sales. Margins will need to be contained. Having both rim and disk brakes versions basically doubles the number of actual models with pretty much the same increase in the number of components you need to source and production lines. Logistically it is expensive and complicated to run and you don't get the economies of scale of an all disc-brake range, making it unprofitable.

Is it a downgrade? Why the series is down from F12 to F9? Not to F15?

It's nice that they were able to make a white bike that doesn't remind me of a ghost bike 😬

I just bought a new bike after riding my previous bike for 17 years. Now I'm about to do something that I question if it is vain or a smart idea. I'm going to wrap it for protection. I know it is very common in the mtb community, but what are your thoughts on road bikes? Am I being vain?

All very nice if you don't have to pay for all this stuff. BTW -on a recent GCN show you said you would never turn your shifters inwards?

Hey, my turned in levers are a temporary measure until I get the correct width bar, fear not, normal service will resume after that!😂
