2011 Pinarello FP1
From Pinarello comes the FP1, its top model aluminum bike. Taking after its Dogma line for extreme rigidity, the 2011 Pinarello FP1 has 6061 aluminum alloy tubes and Shimano 105 Tiagra components.
This is an ideal bike for entry level cyclists at a retail price of £1,199.00. Available in 7 sizes, the FP1 frame underwent triple layer T6 treatment infused with magnesium and silicon components for intensified casting.
The 2011 Pinarello FP1 has TIG weldings and is highly responsive with its Onda™ Carbon 30HM12K fork 1″ 1/8 integral system and Onda™ FP Carbon 30HM3K rear monostay. The frame weighs 1300 grams and has a sloping of 44-46.
1300 grams for an aluminum/carbon fiber frame is respectable. not sure what this means exactly, “the FP1 frame underwent triple layer T6 treatment infused with magnesium and silicon components for intensified casting.” We will look for a thorough explanation of this process and its execution, Pinarello sometimes throws out such claims more for marketing than actually as legitimate design and fabrication executions that really correlate to ride enhanced benefits!!!
