Pinarello Opera — $5,995 $4,800

Modern steel and carbon join in a perfect marriage

Quick and stiff with the ride quality of steel

Light and snappy is a great way to describe this tig-welded steel and carbon classic. This is a performance bike built mostly from steel. The mainframe is constructed from Dedacciai EOm 16.5 steel tubing paired to a full carbon rear triangle and carbon Aria fork. Made in a bygone era when Pinarello still made their frames in Italy, not China or Taiwan.

Built-up with Campagnolo 10-speed components

The older style Campagnolo Chorus 10 speed group is stiff and light with a carbon Ultra-torque crankset and carbon levers. Chorus is designed to be ridden mile after mile. A racing group with logical everyday ride-ability. This generation of Chorus features more chrome than modern components which are mostly black, giving this bike a nice Neo-retro look.

Light, low profile Campagnolo wheelset

The Campagnolo Neutron wheelset pairs perfectly with the Chorus group. Light for excellent climbing, yet strong and durable for everyday training, Neutrons are reactive yet comfortable when the road gets rough.

Hand-built in Italy

The build is completed with Italian-made Deda bars and stem, a Pinarello embroidered Selle Italia Flite saddle perched on a Pinarello carbon seatpost, and Deda bartape. 100% built in Italy!
