Pretty sure that ship has long since sailed, especially since Colnago can't be bothered to continue with C64 sizing.

Well if I recall correctly in articles related to the launch of C68 last year they kept mentioning that rim brake and all road versions are to follow later in the year. That's why I was asking.
Sorry micky for not getting your sarcasm, though I did think this might be the case for a split second. But its difficult to detect it without voice / face expression

I have yet to see a C68 on the road.

Please tell us more. Was it the weight or handling or both? As i get it, standard C68 has same geo as V4RS.

Ax Lightness Vial EVO Race (2019.01.03)
Open *UP* (2016.04.14)
Paduano Racing Fidia (kind of shelved)

Yes I'm curious about this too, and sense more than a bit of hyperbole in that comment. As people here like to say nowadays, xxx grams more on the frame doesn't matter unless the gradient goes double digits etc etc

Yes, but the timescales keep pushing out and out on everything.
C68 AllRoad was supposed to follow hot on the heels of C68 but they've only just appeared, C68 Gravel should have been out by now but no sign of it, C68Ti custom geo should have been available now but no sign of it. C68Ti stock geo are only just starting to appear. C68 rim is going to be absolute bottom of the pile priority after sorting all of those other things out, and the life cycle of the design probably isn't going to be long enough to get there before they switch resources to designing a C70 disc.
And of course the other thing about the Dogma F comparison is that while Pina were sold to LVMH the day to day management (AFAIK) is still by the same people in the Pinarello family. After the Colnago sale the company is being managed by different people with different priorities.
