The Pinarello F4:13 is as light as the magnesium Dogma FPX, shares a nice bit of its Pereiro-approved stiffness, and its Onda fork/stay combo keeps the ride smooth on lousy road surfaces while providing loads of resistance to torsional frame flex. In short, you get the lightness, the crisp ride, and the undeniable sex appeal of carbon, but it's unlike any other similarly priced carbon frame on the market thanks to its Onda combo and the impeccable beauty and manufacturing quality of Pinarello.

The F4:13 is available in a Team Caisse d'Epargne replica, in Carbon/Blue, Carbon/Red, and Carbon/Pink. It comes in 6 sizes, and given the tall, tapered shape of the top tube where it meets the seat tube, our recommendation is that from a sizing perspective you focus on your ideal top tube length. The c-c seat tubes are a bit on the short side for a given top tube, so please don't be distracted by this. Again, your best bet is to first match the frame that provides the ideal top tube length, then consider seat tube and head tube lengths to make sure you're choosing the best size. One other side note: Pinarello has decaled the F4:13 with an "FP" sticker -- typically a designation from Pinarello that a frame will use a MOst bottom bracket, such as the Dogma FP and the Paris. But in fact, the F4:13 will use a standard bottom bracket -- you'll thread your Campy, Shimano, or FSA BB right in the frame.

The construction of the F4:13 is world class, and it's built with Pinarello's dialed-in geometry. It has all the style and the unique ride quality of Pinarello. And the F4:13's monocoque design with its nicely oversized tubes is sure to provide you with some serious "snap" when you power the bike in a sprint or on a climb. We're rather jazzed about it, and our customers who own them rave about their ride.
