I agree with this assessment and the more I look into the model history, speak with my contact at GITA etc, I find the import models vs the Euros differ greatly.

Pin Builders

Pinarello used so many different builders and many took liberties, isn't it fun?

They were just stymied, not like they were jerks or anything, just had no ideas and no leads. Didn't seem interested in typing more than a few words. Oh well. I can live with the black hoods.

You are correct. Not the levers but the hoods. I'll search and see if there are any 'other than black' hoods available for those. Good eye

IRD Drillium replacement hoods

The design of these looks a lot like Ergopower G2, but of course if you were to try and fit those hoods, they would have the button slit.
I'm after a replacement hood, colored preferred but IRD...

My version of this

I ride about 30 miles a day and make certain I take 1-2 days off during the week. So I agree that a bit more time and milage is better with days off in between.

I agree, NFS is by far the best road lube I have used in over 30 years of high mileage road riding in a variety of conditions. Plus it reminds me of my grandfather's garage smell circa late 60's.

Not really sure why you had to quote my post unless you needed some contrast. But, since you rode longer AND used another language WITH bold type, you deserve praise.
