Miguel Indurains hour record bike

And the TT Version

Miguel Indurain's 1994 Pinarello Espada

A true 'capolavoro' (work of art), Pinarello's dramatic, innovative Espada has become an icon of Italian design. Explains Fausto Pinarello: "There were only four of these bicycles made: two for the road and two for the track - just for Indurain. We developed this bike in 1994 when there weren't the UCI rules on bicycle design and you were free to create truly special bicycles. We developed this bike in collaboration with Ing. Giacchi, an aerodynamics engineer who has worked extensively with Formula One racing. We realized that we couldn't make a bicycle with this kind of shape in metal so we decided to use carbon fibre. The first version was made for track, for the world hour record and then we modified it for the derailleurs and internal cable guides. Of course, this bike was made to measure for Indurain, so the carbon fibre molds still exist. The cost of each frame mold was about $5,000, not counting manufacturing costs. Indurain did break the world hour record on the Espada, but he had never done it before."

Not everybody likes Pinarello TT bikes:

just a litespeed - pretty common and weird head/set angle & dodgy ergo gear shifters with downtube mounts used as stops & seatpost/stem too high get a bike that fits. never keen on that, not porn for me

I have a set of these from new that are now 15 years old. Still work perfectly as they did from the day they were bought.

Deep.

not complaining about the functionality - just the look of them on an older bike - purely from an aesthetics point of view - that and i love dt shifters

I have the geared version of that Madone and it would be awesome to have a fixed version. Utterly pointless and extravagant, though.

Yet you hated the Stork? You have horrible taste.

Given that the District Carbon 'utility' cycle is >$3000 without the Livestrong tarting-up, that probably goes without saying.
