modern pinar's are techincally great machines, but somehow, I just have absolutely no fancy for one.
probably because everytime I've seen one been ridden, its generally a middle aged+ 'born again' rider who used to dabble in road in their teens, and now wants to re-live those thrills by dropping £3k+ on 'my bike is more exotic than yours' and 'my bike has t3h carbon fibrz to make up for my gutt' weight savings.
there-go, un-cool.

Sadly not limited to Pinarellos.
And there's also the 'my bike has teh crabon fibrez to make up for the mini pump/blackpool illumination lights/5 waterbottles/U-lock etc" mentality.
