Pinarello FP3 Dura Ace 7800 Bike - 2009 - 2009

Pinarello based the FP3 Dura Ace Road Bike on its world-famous Prince model, with slightly heavier 30HM12K carbon fiber to bring down the price. The FP3 shares the same geometry as the Prince and has a monocoque front triangle bonded to a rear triangle and wide fork blades that increase stiffness and control up front. Pinarello hit this eye-catching bike’s frame with a selection of gorgeous hand-painted color schemes and an array of exclusive MOst components.

  • Identical frame geometry and fit as the race-proven Prince Carbon
  • Full 30HM12K Carbon construction provides lightweight, snappy lateral stiffness, and a plenty of vertical compliance for a plush ride
  • Onda FP Carbon fork features wide, curved blades for front end stability and control

Bottom Line: A little more weight buys heavy savings.

I like the FP3, it seems like a great bike and even better buy....Due to geographics and the cost/hassle of bike travel, my work situation dictates an additional bike to remain at my workplace (out of state) I have now a 2009 Specialized Roubaix that I really enjoy. It has the new Dura-Ace and seems to fit well. The bike seems robust, stiffer especially when coming out of the saddle or climbing steeps. I ride in Utah and So. Cal. and the question is, will the FP3 be "sturdy" enough for me?
I am 6'0 and 200lbs,
thanks

This bike will be plenty sturdy for you. It has some of the highest quality and strongest carbon used for bikes. It will be very stiff and responsive and I think you will really like it. Plus you have a 30 day return policy just in case its not the stead for you. Thanks

Awesome Ride!!

By: lgm3260781
August 30, 2009

I have this bike in a 51.5 from a 54 '07Specialied Allez Expert Triple. The '07 Specialized was one of the last ones to come out with full Ultegra. I now own the FP3 with Campy Centaur components and a compact crankset 50-34 with a 12-25 cassette. Let me tell you, the difference is night and day! This bike just takes everything I throw at it and begs for more! If I didn't know better I would swear that I was riding a $12,000 Prince. I recommend this bike for the person who has decided that they are going to spend the money for a "keeper". A bike that you'll not sell any time soon. I plan on upgrading the wheelset but for now it serves me well. I will definitely upgrade to a full carbon handlebar but again, eventually. Right now I'm just (pardon the pun) enjoying the ride! This baby climbs like a goat, descends like a hawk and responds with speed from a standstill right off the bat. I don't have to sprint for a 100 yards to get it to feel light. It does that right away! Here's a pic of my new "exotic girl"!

Write your question here...How much does the bike weigh? And, why is there a $1700 difference between this bike, with Dura Ace 7800 and the Dura Ace 7900?

The difference in the price of $1,700 doesn't relate to the old 7800 vs the new 7900 athough it might in some small part, the major difference is in that the Full Dura-Ace bike is that - full Dura-Ace. The bottom bracket, brakes, crank and chain are all Dura-Ace. On the bike with 7800 Dura-Ace you'll notice that the above items listed are Ultegra and Most (Pinarello's brand of parts). There is some difference in performance but the real difference is in weight. If you have the extra $1,700 go for it but for me I'll save the money and replace parts as needed and go with Dura-Ace when that happens, which will be many many miles away.

A 54cm Bike weighs 17.05lbs. The difference in price reflects the new Dura-Ace vs. the old. 7900 is the latest iteration, and has many features that justify the price increase.

Descends on a rail

By: cmo3002408
October 4, 2009

I purchased an FP3 Dura Ace 54cm, I weigh 175 lbs. This is a upgrade from my previous Raleigh Competition. The price was very good and the bike arrived completely assembled - just needed to put on my own pedals and adjust it to fit. 1st ride out was a metric century with the local club riders. The improvement over my prior bike was amazing. It is very snappy on the climbs. The most noticeable improvement was that the bike felt incredibly stable on the descents and in the turns. Previous white knuckle descents and sweepers felt like I was riding on a rail. Even though people write reviews about this trait, I never understood it until I experienced it. It has a good amount of dampening too. A very comfortable and fast ride. I can't believe I waited so long to buy one.

I 've been riding a 60" Bianchi limited for the last

I 've been riding a 60" Bianchi limited for the last 27 years. I am 6 foot 1.5 inches tall would a 56" Pinarello FP3 fit?

Man, this is the world’s most impossible question because there are literally hundreds of factors in play. I won't say the 56 won't fit you but I am 100% sure you will feel way more stuffed on the bike if you have grown comfortable on a 60cm. This may lead you to think it doesn't fit because a bike is not a shoe and in the end it is all personal preference.

I was in a similar situation and I went to a bike shop and sat on and road several different sizes of bikes. I found one I really liked the fit on and wrote down the top tube and seat tube sizes. I used this as my starting criteria when looking at bikes online and in stores.

I admit these two measurements are not everything except for a starting point and different bike manufacturer measure them differently. But, when I received my bike I went ahead and had my bike professionally fit and ended up swapping out the stem for one that was 1cm shorter. The bike frame was perfectly sized though so the comparisons seemed to work fine.

I agree with Damon. The Look 566 is a pretty good option.

Man there has literally been books written on the subject. I assume you are not commuting since you used the word sport, and you intend on road biking since you posted this on a road bike page. A pretty darn nice road bike too. Assuming you are not into touring and are in the performance fitness, training, club rider, potential first time racer category you have literally a million choices. Assuming you want to have a bike you keep for a while I suggest a bike with a component group no less than Shimano 105 or SRAM Rival. The 2009 Rival group is awesome! Unless you live in the mountains or plan some serious touring choose a setup with a compact double crankset, a non-compact set is you plan on taking racing serious. Choose a carbon fork on the front for long-ride comfort. Entry level rider should choose a bike with more relaxed compact sloping geometry. A bike like this FP3 from Pinarello will likely have more aggressive geometry and lightening fast steering because it is based on race bike geometry. This usually feels uncomfortable for non-seasoned riders. Get as good of wheels as you can afford, wheels have the best performance to dollar ROI.

When I was feeling out bikes and sizing I used the Forums over at roadbikereview.com. It has ton's of good information.

I think the Look 566 on backcountry and the Specialized Roubiax are great high-performance enthusiast bikes. Look at those and go from there.
