2011 Pinarello Lungavita Fixed Gear
First introduced in 2010, Pinarello found success with the Lungavita fixed models, and now will release four more in 2011.
Lungavita, which translates to “long life” will release two special models called the Soho and Chelsea, which both use vibrant colors. If this does not fit your fancy, two other simple colors are releasing in red and black.
Comparing the 2011 Pinarello Lungavita to the previous year, the 2011 handlebars are more aggressive for track racing, and Most duel track rims that are deeper.
The Soho 2011 Lungavita might have two option available, a drop bar and flat bar. In the catalog, a flat bar is shown, but the product images distributed on the web shows drop. Retail price should be around $1,200.
It was sad when Pinarello went to Asia for production, now it seems they are copying Peggoretti in graphics. It is a shame to see what was once an Industry icon, leader and innovator become merely a shell of what it once was!!!
Pinarello is still making extremely high-end bicycles in Italy. The cost of production for these inexpensive models is far too high to not source the frame set construction out of Asia. If Pinarello wants to focus its resources on making competitive bicycles like the new Dogma, they certainly cannot worry about making $1,000 fixed gear bicycles on the floor in Italy..!
Sad people dont think someone living in Asia can make a bike as someone living in Italy.
