One of the most winning and storied bikes in modern racing, the Pinarello Prince has more Grand Tour wins to its name than any other model of bicycle we can think of (True that Lance and Contador have won all their Tours on a Trek, but there have been a few different models in there.)
The third generation of a frame that was originally developed in the mid-1990’s, the 2008 Prince frame has a weight of well under a kilo, but maintains stiffness and razor sharp handling thanks to near magical CAD work by Pinarello’s engineering team and its Torayca Japanese 50K composite material. If you’re reading this though, you probably already know how incredible the Prince is; Bicycling magazine has gushed over this beauty a number of times.
We’d love to see this 55cm Prince find a new kingdom so we can make room for a new project bike. Built with Shimano Dura-Ace 7900 group including Dura-Ace 7850 tubeless road wheels, this yellow Prince also features the company’s stand-out M.O.st Talon Compact integrated carbon handlebar and stem and M.O.st carbon seatpost as well as a Fizik Arione CX saddle.
The first $8700 takes it and, as with all of our project bikes, we’re happy to swap a part or two if it’ll make the bike work better for you.If you're interested give us a call @ 415.389.5461, email or come by the shop.
By the way, these and many of our incredible photos are by local lensmen Dean Bentley. Soon enough we'll do a feature on Dean and his work. Stay tuned.
