Help me find the obvious difference, please. But I guess we are pretty much still speculating.
By the looks of it, this might as well be a baked Dogma F frame that didn't quite make QA for weight targets.

Also different downtube, seattube, and BB area. I bet there's some differences in the rear triangle also. It's very clearly not the Dogma F or F12 in a different paintjob. In fact I'd suspect the increased tire-frame gaps are because of the different down/seattube designs and not because of increased wheelbase.
Pinarello are having no problems selling every frame they produce at those eye-watering prices. I'm a member of 3 Pinarello FB groups and 80% of the posts showing off new bikes are riders from Asian descent. I'm in no way trying to come of as racist or culturally disrespectful but those are the parts of the world where these owners try to outdo friends and have Princeton wheels, full ceramicspeed everything and generally go out at a coffee ride pace. Just facts. The F5/7/9 will sell less combined then the flagship FwheelsONfire wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 3:13 pmI wonder if Piarello have seen the problems they actually have to face with Dogma F in todays market and potential customers.
Financially, it's not working to have these prices as Dogma F. Since they can't drop the price 2000 Euro of these framesets, they have to do something.
They've done this relatively fast i must say!
That's kind of sad in a way, becoming a symbol for perfection aimed at bragging.skinnybex wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 4:44 pmPinarello are having no problems selling every frame they produce at those eye-watering prices.

It's this. It's not cycling as we know it for fitness or performance but it is huge in Asia. Check out Instagram. Almost every photo is in small ring with a giant phone strapped to the top of stem. It's for fashion and showing off somehow. Really weird.skinnybex wrote:Pinarello are having no problems selling every frame they produce at those eye-watering prices.

In my opinion, it's how the Ineos / Pro Tour Sponsorship marketing done right. Just like Specialized (or S-works in particular since most of them only want that instead the cheaper Specialized one lol), having winning pedigrees sell more.wheelbuilder wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 9:19 am]It's this.
