The different wheels are in a way contributing positively. :) The rear wheel driving- power and the front wheel maintaining stability. Adds a sense of balance.

What am I talking about.... Anyway! Nice shot.

They make great bikes. I am quitting because they have become too big now and are painting buses with their bikes in Las Vegas and I am not particularly a fan of such things. I am also not a fan of sky team.

Time to move on and buy other beautiful bikes.

I often wonder what can be more beautiful than the curves of a Pinarello, but then all bikes are beautiful in their own sense (Yeah even MTB's :P).

Moving to De Rosa?

Cipollioni is totally over rated. Saw a few this summer and it does not deserve the attention it gets.

The Farnese vini team were riding Cipollini bikes at the Giro. The seat tube is so ugly.

Ok, not as beautiful as your dogma but it gives you plenty of features and you might also save 25 watts if you are traveling at 40kmph + and at 750 grams frame set is very light. :D
